A shout-out to the amazing womxn who made this march possible! #AuratMarch2020
March 8, 2020. Sunday.
Womxn of Lahore marched for their rights. It didn't matter where we came from or who we were, we were all out on the streets and we were together. #AuratMarch2020
Our next generation marched with us, smiling and laughing as they fought against patriarchy. #AuratMarch2020
Our older generation marched with us, proudly taking a stand. #AuratMarch2020
We didn't just march but we rebelled, against patriarchy, against this society, against our own backgrounds to march for out rights! #AuratMarch2020
We marched with our mothers, our fathers, our sisters, our brothers, we marched with our families. #AuratMarchIslamabad
We raised our flags and banners and voices to mark our presence. #AuratMarch2020
We expressed ourselves in the way we felt comfortable. #AuratMarch2020
We expressed our message in the way that would make our generation engage in a conversation; memes. #AuratMarch2020
We raised our posters which shook everyone. #AuratMarch2020
We had questions to ask, we demanded answers. #AuratMarch2020
We marched for the women and kids who had to suffer. #AuratMarch2020
We marched for those who can't march. #AuratMarch2020
@itsmeeshashafi we marched for you! ❤️
We remember the struggles of the ones before us, we hold their banners even today. #AuratMarch2020
1: Girls learn to breathe from the soil (dust)
Yet they grow up to become dust storms (that are powerful)
2: A daughter from punjab once wept/cried, (Ref: Heer) you wrote so much of sorrow about it
Today lacs of daughters are crying, asking for waris shah (to speak from graves)

We Remember. #AuratMarch2020
So we march and shout on the top of our lungs! #AuratMarch2020
We shout loud enough for everyone to listen! #AuratMarch2020
We sang and chanted for our freedom. #AuratMarch2020
"Rapist is you!" we chanted protesting violence against women and kids. #AuratMarch2020
We even held the placards high! #AuratMarch2020
We made art that history will remember! #AuratMarch2020
We even used humour hoping to make a point. #AuratMarch2020
The thread does not end here. I accidentally tweeted the rest as a reply instead of continuing the thread.
We all marched together, we all marched as one! #AuratMarch2020
We marched for our economic rights! #AuratMarch2020
We marched so no woman has to depend on anyone for financial support. #AuratMarch2020
Our demand were for all despite the cast, sect, or religion. #AuratMarch2020
We raised our voice against the harassment we face every day for being a Womxn. #AuraMarch2020
After years of being silent, we had a lot to say. #AuratMarch2020
And we didn't hold back! #AuratMarch2020
Mera Jism, Meri marzi. We owned the phrase. #AuratMarch2020
We stood up against what we're told to lock ourselves up for! #AuratMarch2020
We marched like a GIRL! #AuratMarch2020
We marched ahead as they supported us! #AuratMarch2020
We marched ahead and they marched with us. #AuratMarch2020
It was the day we all got united to fight! #AuratMarch2020
We honoured the theme of this year, Khudmukhtari (autonomy) and violence, both sexual and economic #AuratMarch2020
We all had our stories to share, traumas to heal, voices to be heard. #AuratMarch2020
Nobody can tell us what to protest for or how, they don't know what we've been through. #AuratMarch2020
It was a day when we stood up for each other just like womenfolk have always done before! #AuratMarch2020
It's a long thread. I'm sorry. Continued:
Thank you to all the womxn who marched with us and those who couldn't, thank you for your support.
Closing this thread with a picture of me with these amazing women officers at the end of the day!
