Protect the life of transgenders!
We are against the enforced conversion of minor girls in Pakistan!

Give Afghan women the right to education and life!
We stand with the women of Iran
The Aurat March is an annual socio-political demonstration organized since 2018
in Pakistani cities such as Islamabad, Karachi, Lahore, Peshawar and Quetta to
observe International Women's Right Day.
The march manifesto demands economic justice, including implementation of labor
rights and the Protection Against Harassment of Women at the Workplace Act, 2010,
recognition of women's unpaid contributions to the «care economy», and provision
of maternity leave and daycare centers to ensure women's inclusion in the labor
force. It also demands access to safe air and drinking water, protection of
animals and wildlife, recognition of women's participation in the production of
food and cash crops, access to a fair judicial system, the inclusion of women
with disabilities and the transgender community, reproductive justice, access to
public spaces, inclusion in educational institutions, etc ...
Women and men carry posters with slogans such as Ghar ka Kaam, Sab ka Kaam
(«Housework is everyone's work»), and Mera Jism Meri Marzi («My body, my choice»)
became a rallying cry.
Mera Jism Meri Marzi (lit. 'My body, my choice)
Mera Jism Meri Marzi (lit. 'My body, my choice') is a slogan used by feminists in
Pakistan to demand bodily autonomy and protest gender-based violence.
Other popular slogans are:
Nazar teri gandi aur purdah mein keroun («Why do I adopt the veil because of your
bad habit of ogling?»)
Agar dupatta itna pasand hai tou apni aankhon pe bandh lo («If you like the scarf
so much, then tie it around your eyes»)
Tu kare tou Stud, Mai Karun tou Slut («If you do it, you're a stud, but if I do
it, I'm a slut»)
Khana khud garam karo («Ready the food yourself»)
Aurat March, 2020
Conservatives, right wing and islamists objects to those slogans which they think
to be contrary to their Islamic ideology and allegedly promote vulgarity as well
as western culture and agenda. Opponents of the Aurat March accused its
organizers on social media of flying a French flag,while the flag of the Women
Democratic Front is red, white, and purple... The most radical opponents added
threats to stop Aurat March by force if it includes slogans not acceptable to them.
In 2021, according to Pakistan's minister for religious affairs and interfaith
harmony, Noorul Haq Qadri, Islamic societies are the best in protecting women's
rights, Qadri says Aurat March banners, placards and slogans do not match with
the Pakistan's social, political and religious standard imbibed in the collective
thought of the Pakistani people, and that individual or civil society
participating in Aurat March ought not to get leeway to undermine the religious
injunctions and instead Aurat March be celebrated as Hijab day to focus
discrimination by Hindu extremists against Muslim minorities in India. each years
marches are organized amidst intimidation and attacks.
