The much-awaited Aurat March is all set to take place on Monday, March 8, 2021, across Pakistan. The mission of the Aurat March is to unite women, trans, and nonbinary people for the cause of gender justice and bring about collective social change based on the principles of inclusion, dignity, freedom, and equality.
The cities of Karachi, Islamabad, Multan and Lahore have come up with various kinds of agenda which aims at justice, education, health facilities and many more positive developmental projects for women.
The Paradox:
According to my views, the actions and demands of the Aurat March are paradoxical to a greater extent. At one side, they aim at establishment of logical and peaceful society but when it comes to practicality, most of them turn their faces away from logic and reason_ in short they ignore those issues which need to be addressed rather they focus on minor and unimportant things.
The aim of women empowerment through education fades away with lame slogans about sitting and dressing styles. It harms the women in many ways because the very legitimacy of the March loses its essence due to all the controversial slogans becoming a trend on social media which curtains the main aim of the March.
When it comes to the March day, no one sees any of the above mentioned demands. The real oppressed is always being exploited over and over again and the previleged ones are always standing shouting for their own "sitting styles". The point which I want to put forward here is that the previleged women should help the oppressed ones through financial support because just shouting and getting famous over social media do nothing good for those who really deserve it. Step outside, go to tribal areas and even in those areas where women do face cruelty, pick the women who have been exploited and file a case for them. Fight against the rapists, fight against the acid attacks. Drag the ones who are really responsible for the oppression to the courts. Hang them to death and stabilize the society. Lifting women or women empowerment does not require digging graves for men. We need to clear the mindset that every man is not responsible for the oppression and cruelty towards women. Let normal men live on 8 March!

Well explained 👍🏻👏🏻
