Riyasat Jawab Dou Zulm Ka Hisaab Dou

The Aurat March Karachi was conceived in 2018 after women from diverse affiliations, backgrounds and professions issued a call for collective action. The Aurat March Karachi aims to unite women (cis and trans), khawaja siras, trans men, and non-binary people for social change, gender justice and a call to end militarization and violence in public spaces.

Building on previous year’s success, the Aurat March has been scheduled for the 8th of March every year, to coincide with and commemorate the International Women’s Day with a big rally.

Vision

We envision a world in which women (cis and trans), khawaja siras, trans men, and non-binary people, ethnicities, religious communities, strata and economic backgrounds are free to exercise autonomy over their lives and build just and peaceful communities. This includes working-class women, displaced women, refugee women, differently-abled women and transgender women – as well as persons belonging to other gender identities.

We would also like to underscore that the Aurat March is not funded by any political party, NGO, corporation or any group.
