Sir: Last Friday, the 8th of March, on International Women’s Day, the legendary Aurat March occurred in both Karachi and Lahore. Thousands of women and men (also) took part, marching for a better future for the women in Pakistan. Women and men held signs and posters attacking the misogyny in Pakistan. My favourites included “We’re the women your local preacher warned you about” and “Equal rights for others does not mean less rights for you. It’s not pie.” Several celebrities, from Adnan Malik to Meesha Shafi, took part. It was a historic event for women throughout Pakistan.
