The Aurat March is held on March 8 (International Women’s Day) annually. Every year, it garners a lot of criticism from people on the internet who find a few posters at the march offensive. However, almost majority of the posters who fail to get the required attention are about women talking about their issues and demanding their rights.
This year, we’ve rounded up some of our favourite posters from the march in Karachi. Here’s what people marched for this year.
For the right to occupy public spaces
Against people trying to control women
For Baloch women
For a stop to hate
For mothers who have lost their sons
For equality
Because women should support each other
Because they weren’t allowed to
Because why not?
For the right to dress and live as they please
Because people are scared of the Aurat March
For their right to be free
Because sexist jokes aren’t funny
Because of society
Because people actually think like this
Because they can
