Hijras get ready backstage before the Hijra talent show, part of Hijra Pride 2014 Nov. 10, 2014 in Dhaka, Bangladesh. Hijras, or transgenders, were officially recognized by Bangladesh as a third gender in 2013, though homosexuality still remains illegal and Hijras face violence and harassment in their daily lives. This is the event's first year, and it features dance and talent performances.
