Aurat March is rooted in a rich history of South Asian feminist resistance.
There are some deep misunderstandings about Aurat March. One of them is that it promotes a Western brand of feminism: it views feminism as a "new" phenomenon in Pakistan.
We strongly reject this narrative. Aurat March builds on the wholehearted efforts of our feminist foremothers. South Asian and Pakistani history is full of women resisting and creating space for themselves in the private and public sphere. We discuss the indispensable role of resilient women in our history.
