Our posters for this year commemorate the connected struggles for women’s emancipation across Pakistan, as women fight for safety, well-being, recognition and equality across geographies, cultures and faiths.

This poster honours in particular the women of Balochistan leading the non-violent movement against enforced disappearances and injustices in Balochistan.
It remind us of the staggering diversity of women’ s concerns, which go far beyond the domestic sphere and are determined by political and socio-economic structures and inequalities that we often unquestioningly accept and take for granted.

We are disgusted to hear the news of MNA Maulana Salahuddin Ayubi’s marriage to a 14-yr old girl from Chitral who was a student of Government Girls High School, Jughoor, where her DOB had been recorded as Oct 28, 2006, which means that she hasn’t attained the age of marriage.
We march, organize & advocate because in this patriarchal country, men in power are blatantly undermining the few laws that are there to protect women and girls.

In Pakistan, every 5th girl is married under the age of 18.
Sindh is the only province in Pakistan which has updated the Child Marriage Restraint Act 1929 increasing the marriageable age to 18.

It has further made the act a punishable offence. A man, above 18 years, who contracts a child marriage, could now be imprisoned for three years.

A Rebuttal to the Criticism on Aurat March 2019:

Number 1: What are you marching for? We don't need a March, all women have equal rights in Pakistan anyway. Islam guarantees 'respect' for women and protects them.

Lubna 'befriended other people' and shared the killer's sisters’ pictures on social media, so he, her 'admirer', killed her.
