The annual event by and for the resilient women of Pakistan took a step forward this year with the fifth Aurat March held right beside the Mazar-e-Quaid at Bagh-e-Jinnah in Karachi. Hundreds of women took to the streets in other parts of the country as well with only one message: equal rights for all.
This year, the theme of the march was ujrat, tahaffuz aur sukoon [wages, security and peace for women]. Despite attracting opposition, threats, severe backlashes, and even counter rallies, women are not backing off. Women from all social classes, walks of life, age groups and economic backgrounds participated. The venue was buzzing with enthusiastic individuals who used placards, chants and slogans to voice their opinions.
