Alisha, who was shot multiple times in Peshawar on Sunday, was a coordinator for Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa Trans Action Alliance.

A Pakistani transgender activist who'd been shot several times died Wednesday after a Peshawar hospital delayed treatment because of disagreement over placing her in a male or female ward, according to activists who brought her in.

The woman — identified only as Alisha — received multiple gunshot wounds during an altercation on Sunday evening and was taken to the city's Lady Reading Hospital. After arriving at hospital, activists said the medical staff kept her waiting for several hours, as they could not decide whether to put her in a male or female ward, the Express Tribune reported.

Despite several requests to move her to a female ward, Alisha was eventually moved between male and female wards, according to reports, which sparked a protest on Trans Action Alliance (TAA) Khyber Pakhtunkhwa's Facebook page.

The group then said they had to hire a private room as the hospital said it could not accommodate her in the male or female wards, as hospital staff claimed there was "no place for transgenders." She underwent multiple medical procedures on Monday and Tuesday. However, on Wednesday morning, TAA announced that Alisha had "died at the hospital because she never received intensive medical attention," and blamed the provincial government.

Speaking to Dawn, Qamar Kassam, another TAA member, said the hospital staff's response to Alisha was not helpful. "The doctors kept asking injured Alisha if she danced only and how much she charged whereas the blood laboratory guy asked them if their blood was HIV positive or not."

Another activist, Farzana Jan, emotionally described how she ran around looking for doctors while attendants chased and teased her, Dawn reported.
