The third Aurat March recently took place in various cities of Pakistan like Lahore, Karachi, and Islamabad. The event calls for all disadvantaged segments of society, especially women, to fight for their due rights. This movement is a peaceful protest for equality, and it takes place annually on Women’s Day (8th of March).<\/p>\n

However, the event has not been without its share of controversies.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Not only were some of the posters misunderstood by a majority of the people, they were also altered or changed in disgusting ways by elements who wanted to discredit the movement.<\/p>\n

With the help of Photoshop, some posters were changed to showcase the wrong kind of messages. These messages in no way represent Aurat March or its agendas.<\/p>\n

No wonder that peaceful protesters in Islamabad were attacked by radical elements.<\/p>\n

Let’s take a look at how some of the placards were messed with.<\/p>\n

A Blank Canvas<\/h3>\n

TV anchor Mansoor Ali Khan took to Twitter to expose the media’s hand in twisting and turning his wife holding a blank sheet of paper at the Aurat March.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Even though the original photo reveals that she was holding nothing but a blank sheet of flyers which were later edited to add slogans like;<\/p>\n

“It is not immodest to be naked,”<\/p>\n

“My body, my choice,”<\/p>\n

and “There, I’m sitting properly.” with a drawing of a woman sitting with her legs spread open.<\/p>\n

\n

Original picture vs 3 different photoshopped versions. <\/p>\n

Doing great guys. Your acts only support how important the #AuratAzadiMarch<\/a> is today. <\/p>\n
