"A new, assertive feminist movement has swept Pakistan in the past five years.
Led by a younger generation of women, it is confronting entrenched patriarchy
in the country and demanding radical reforms to protect the rights of other
marginalised communities and gender minorities.
What began as an annual march to observe International Women’s Day on 8 March
has evolved into a sustained campaign for social, political, economic and
judicial reform. This iteration of Pakistani women’s rights amplifies voices
and raises awareness through rallies in major cities including Karachi, Lahore
and Islamabad. It makes extensive use of digital platforms for wider
mobilisation and uses graphic posters and placards, performance arts, poetry
and songs to advocate for different conceptions of femininity."
