Aurat Azadi March Islamabad

@AuratAzadiMarch

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.

We have all been told that Feminism/#AuratAzadiMarch is unnecessary, because equality has already been achieved.

This is #WhyWeMarch.

This idea feeds into the common stereotype of feminists as angry, man-hating witches, who must be overreacting since there is no real problem to solve. But gender inequality exists everywhere in the world. And it is particularly severe in Pakistan.

According to the Human Rights Watch (HRW), between 70-90% of Pakistani women are estimated to experience domestic violence in their lifetimes, and 80% of this abuse comes at the hands of their own husbands.

At 17, I go to KU, fatherless & eldest among siblings, I travel in a bus for the 1st time & am touched, groped & pushed, so many times in the 15 minute journey that by the time I get to the University, I am too shaken to figure out which forms I need.
#MeraJismMeriMarzi

At 18, a student at KU, I get used to being felt up. I spend the next 4 years commuting in Karachi public transport & loose count pf the number of times I am touched without consent.

At 22, I take a rickshaw to work. 5 min in, the driver starts shouting about my duppatta. I panic. I apologise. I fumble with my duapatta. He keeps yelling. So I jump out as he starts to slow down on a red light and run with bleeding knees. I dont tell anyone.

کیا آپ کسی کلاسک شاعر کا کوئی ایسا شعر بتا سکتے ہیں جس میں عورت کے دماغ ، اس کی ذہانت کی تعریف کی گئی ہو۔

I've been hearing the debate on #MeraJismMeriMarzi and #AuratMarch2020 but while everyone has jumped on the bandwagon to criticize the march, let me remind you of some harsh facts that you forgot to lash out about.

I personally searched and read details of every case of violence against women and children reported since the start of this year.

After hours of going through the traumatic accounts, I compiled all the cases and their details and I decided to share them with everyone.

Please remember, these are only the cases that were reported and made it to the news.

The number of unreported cases is way higher than what we believe.

Thread:

All my life, I have used public buses in Karachi and many a times touched inappropriately while coming to home from college. What did I do? Get myself covered in a bigger chadar. Took a scarf. Took my brother with me to the bus stops. Wore lose clothes.

The harassment didn't stop. I thought guilty of myself. I felt bad about my body. When I first started working, I was a young enthusiastic student full of hopes and dreams for a better future. I wanted to work to gain financial independence.

I was an innocent, naive person with ideas in my head like I will stop working when I get married (Because the society taught me so). My first experience of harassment came at my first workplace. He was the most sweetest boy of office. Innocent-looking, full sunnat bearded man.
