Aurat March is a peaceful march that is annually held on International Women’s Day. Women from various parts of Pakistan gather together to fight for their rights through posters. Keeping up with the festivities, participants raise their voices with enthusiastic chants against inequalities and misogyny.<\/p>\n

It’s hard to understand why anyone who stands for women rights and human rights would vandalize posters intended for Aurat March posters. Yet, certain individuals just don’t get it. They’d rather indulge in hooliganism and vandalism to make their point poorly.<\/p>\n

The Movement<\/h3>\n

The Aurat March, organized by “Hum Auratein” (We The Women), is taking place in numerous cities including Karachi, Lahore, and Islamabad.<\/p>\n

Preparations have already begun for posters, banners, and slogans. This Aurat March anthem was posted on Facebook and the backlash has been unbelievable.<\/p>\n
