By Salma Abbas, What is Aurat March? According to the description in The Nation, “A movement emerged in the Pakistani political landscape last year by the name of Aurat March in the cities of Lahore, Karachi, and Islamabad. What was unique about the movement was its lack of affiliation with any political party or any organization. The aim of the organizers was to mobilize women at all fronts to ensure that the re-introduction of feminist politics in Pakistan is not limited to a particular group of women and to ensure an inclusive narrative which does not overlook subjugation in any form and in any part of the country. The marches in each city are organized separately by whoever is willing to volunteer for the cause of women. This year the march expanded beyond the three mainstream cities to Peshawar, Faisalabad, and Hyderabad.” This March faced huge criticism specifically due to the controversial placards and all the stuff gone viral on social media. The participants of Aurat March tried to disseminate different perspectives towards the society for women as per the feminist school of thought. What is the Aim of Aurat March? As per the participants of Aurat March, the objective was based on a detailed manifesto which outlines the demands of the women including emphasis on sisterhood and solidarity, economic justice, environmental justice, accountability and restorative justice against violence, ban on police brutality, eradication of enforced disappearances, inclusion, reproductive justice, access to public spaces, rights of religious minorities, and ending the war rhetoric. Most of these demands are already rights guaranteed by the constitution but post the Zia regime, Pakistan witnessed a significant social shift which not only affronted feminist politics in the country but also resulted in a generation which was responsible for creating Pakistan as the sixth most dangerous country for women in the world.
