Aurat Marches to be held across Pakistan to mark Women's Day

keep your jahalat and godlessness to yourself and preach it in india.
Ideas cannot be kept locked in one country. No matter how hard you try to stay in the dark ages progress is going to reach every corner of the world be it India or Pakistan. I'm not preaching godlessness. Equal rights isn't a issue of religion. Keep seething. No one can keep large groups oppressed for long. You can only delay the revolution, you can't stop it.
 
. . . .
men and women rights are described in detail in Islam. beyond that is godlessness.
What's "described" in Islam or any other religion is a matter of interpretation. Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Pakistan and Indonesia have the same Qur'an and arguably the same Islam. But still they have widely different practices even when the sect is similar. Can you judge and tell whose Islam is right or wrong? Demagogues and oppressors have a tendency to use religion to their benefit. This is why many people support a separation of religion and state, as their mixture corrupts both. Don't use religion to justify your misogyny.

the minimum standards of men and women rights are the same across all major islamic schools of thought. if you dont know a damn thing about islam, then just stop moving your lips for the sake of it.

Don't use religion to justify your misogyny.

and dont use the internet to tell Pakistanis what they should/shouldnt do in Pakistan. its not your country, buzz off.

Issues of women's rights, and human rights in general are universal concept. I will absolutely use internet to tell anyone from any country what to do when it comes to rights. Of course women's rights sucks in India too with many misogynists like you taking the cover of religion and culcha. I tell Indians too don't worry. And if what you're saying is true, then it looks like I was duped by Islamic feminists but don't worry I'll inform them that a Pakistani in Bahrain has informed me about the tenants of Islam that say I'm wrong.

Preparations were being finalised on Monday as organisers geared up to hold Aurat Marches across the country to mark International Women's Day and call for the protection of women's rights.

The first Aurat March was held in 2018 in Karachi. The next year, it was extended to more cities, including Lahore, Multan, Faisalabad, Larkana, and Hyderabad. This year too, the marches will be held in Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad, and other cities of Pakistan.

In Karachi, the march is scheduled to take place at Frere Hall. In view of the prevailing coronavirus situation, organisers have emphasised standard operating procedures (SOPs), including wearing masks and maintaining a distance of six feet.

The Karachi march will also be broadcast live.



The Aurat March in Lahore will be held in the afternoon from the Lahore Press Club to the PIA Building.

Each chapter of the Aurat March has its own manifesto with the Karachi chapter focusing on patriarchal violence; Lahore on addressing healthcare workers and women’s health; and the Islamabad march is dedicated to the crisis of care.

Last year, the situation at the Islamabad Aurat March turned precarious after male participants of a rival 'Haya March' by religious parties threw stones at participants of the Aurat March, injuring at least one person. The situation was brought under control by police.


Tributes
Meanwhile, tributes have poured in with ministers and politicians recalling the role of women in their lives while simultaneously calling for them to be given equal rights.

Army chief Gen Qamar Javed Bajwa in his message said Pakistani women had "contributed immensely for the glory and honour of our nation". Women were also at the forefront of the fight against the Covid-19 pandemic, he noted.

Talking about women in uniform, Gen Bajwa said they have "proved their mettle by contributing copiously in diverse fields serving the nation & humanity".
"They deserve our immense respect & gratitude," he added.



National Assembly Speaker Asad Qaiser said that the protection of women's rights was the "top priority" of the government because it was "imperative for the formation of a progressive society", according to a report by Radio Pakistan.

Minister for Information Shibli Faraz said March 8 "highlighted women's high status in society and their commendable services in different sectors".

He said that the Constitution was a guarantor of women's rights and they had played an important role in the building and progress of the country.

"Making women powerful and protected in society by ensuring equal rights and equal opportunities for progress for them is our determination," he stressed.


PML-N Vice President Maryam Nawaz also talked about women empowerment, saying she "dream of a Pakistan where women excel in every field and play leading roles".

Federal Education Minister Shafqat Mahmood paid tribute to all the women in his life, including his mother, wife, daughters, sisters and his colleagues at work and in politics.
"Thank you for making the world a better place," he wrote.



Minister for Science and Technology Fawad Chaudhry used the occasion to encourage girls to opt for science subjects to change their and the country's destiny.

Muttahida Qaumi Movement-Pakistan (MQM-P) leader and newly-elected senator Faisal Subzwari reminded people that respecting women also meant "respecting their liberty of making choices".
He called on people to encourage the women in their families, adding "we as a society badly need educated, confident & courageous women".
