Aurat March 2019 creating stir in the pot

This time we will try our level best not to speak much today and the pictures do talking. On International Women’s Day 2019 Pakistan witnessed ‘Aurat March’ (a march to speak about women rights) happening in the length and breadth of the country.

Although it was heartening to see women from almost all walks of life raising their voice not just on their rights but also other issues in Pakistan like Baloch missing persons, divorce, right in property, clean water, violence against women etc. Aurat March also created a stir among the masses. Mostly men and also some women were irked by the posters and couldn’t help voicing their opinion. They also believed that Aurat March missed some of the important issues that needed to be talked about. And yeah not to miss the fragile Pakistani masculinity that kept rolling in despair!

We are here not to give you an opinion about Aurat March but bring to you some of the posters and placards that caught our attention. It is for you to decide which side you would like to sit with.

‘Give social and economic protection to your domestic help.’

‘These roads belong to us too.’
