KARACHI: <\/strong>Aurat March returned to Karachi\u2019s Sea View on Sunday despite state restrictions and political backlash. Participants turned the Mother\u2019s Day gathering into a protest against marital rape, domestic violence, gender-based violence, and patriarchal expectations that continue to shape women\u2019s lives both inside and outside the home, insisting that their right to march \u201cwill not stop.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Held on Mother\u2019s Day under the theme \u201cGood Girls,\u201d this year\u2019s march focused on generational trauma, motherhood, domestic labour, and the patriarchal expectations imposed on women from childhood. Placards, speeches, chants, and performances transformed the beachside gathering into both a protest and a deeply personal reflection on the roles women are expected to perform in Pakistani society.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The event came days after the Karachi district administration issued a 28-condition no-objection certificate (NOC) for the gathering, banning \u201cobjectionable clothing,\u201d anti-state slogans, LGBTQ content, and speeches deemed against the \u201cideology of Pakistan.\u201d Organisers condemned the conditions as an attempt to \u201ccontrol and dilute the politics of the march.\u201d Earlier in the week, organiser Sheema Kermani and several activists were briefly detained outside the Karachi Press Club while protesting restrictions surrounding the event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite this, by Sunday evening chants of \u201cInsaan hai aurat\u201d and \u201cMeri nahi toh kiski marzi\u201d echoed across Sea View as hundreds gathered under banners questioning the societal obsession with creating \u201cachi betiyaan\u201d (good daughters).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking to participants throughout the event, a recurring theme was that Aurat March has moved beyond social media controversy and become a space where previously taboo issues are now openly discussed. One participant said the march had forced conversations around topics ignored in mainstream discourse. \u201cWhen we talk about the discussion of \u2018good girls\u2019 and the relationship of this title with motherhood, it\u2019s in our patriarchal houses where we see this concept,\u201d they said. \u201cIf a girl refuses to stay in those conditions, then suddenly she is no longer considered a \u2018good girl\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Several participants also said the march had evolved over the years through increasing youth participation, arguing that younger voices had helped push conversations beyond online debate into public spaces. \u201cWith growing time, we have seen young people joining us, and the importance of youth in politics is very important because we are the future,\u201d one participant said. \u201cRegarding this march, the media has always played a role in giving a narrative on the event because we make demands from the state and society, but people rarely highlight the actual speeches or discussions happening here.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The participant added that motherhood itself remains heavily romanticised and imposed upon women. \u201cPatriarchy has romanticised motherhood \u2014 that if you are a woman, you must become a mother. But what if a woman doesn\u2019t want to give birth? What if she doesn\u2019t want motherhood? That should also be an individual choice.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Others highlighted violence against women as an issue still insufficiently addressed despite years of activism. One male participant said he attended because \u201cthere is no difference between women and men when it comes to basic humanity.\u201d He added, \u201cMore than 7,500 women have been killed in the past four years, including around 1,500 honour killings. If we talk about harassment, workplace abuse, domestic violence \u2014 these numbers are everywhere, but society still normalises them.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another attendee said his participation was influenced by witnessing the struggles of his sisters. \u201cI personally believe that I have four sisters and I know the sorrow they go through every day,\u201d he said. \u201cWomen face backlash constantly for simply existing. Speaking up for women is basic empathy.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe march will continue.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The slogan became the defining refrain of the evening after organiser Sheema addressed the crowd from the main stage. \u201cAt first we thought: should we not do the march?\u201d she said. \u201cThen we thought \u2014 why not? It is our right.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Referring to criticism and restrictions placed on the gathering, she declared the movement would continue regardless of pressure. \u201cFor eight years of struggle, where we have reached today, we will keep going forward,\u201d she said. \u201cWe will not stop. Just like our slogan says: the march will continue.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sheema repeatedly described the gathering not as an organisation-led campaign but as a grassroots movement born from everyday struggles. \u201cWe are not an NGO. We are not a registered organisation,\u201d she said. \u201cWe are an organic movement. Some women got together and said we are tired of the struggles we face daily \u2014 what happens to me, my sister, my loved one, women in my neighbourhood. We do not accept this.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She also responded to claims of foreign funding and accusations often made against the march. \u201cStanding here in front of the sea, I am telling you these are lies,\u201d she said. \u201cWe get no outside funding. We simply came together because women have had enough.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Her speech also addressed recent police action against organisers. \u201cMy first demand from this state and government is to give women safety and security,\u201d she said. \u201cWe were legally going to the press club for a conference, and we demand a public apology.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beyond speeches, the march\u2019s visual symbolism reflected themes of invisible labour and domestic violence. One participant held a placard reading \u201cApna khana khud banao\u201d (cook your own food), referencing cases where women have been assaulted or killed over domestic expectations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cPeople make fun of this slogan, but it\u2019s not funny,\u201d the participant said. \u201cA simple search shows countless stories of women being killed because food was late, cold, or not prepared on time.\u201d They described domestic labour as one of the most overlooked forms of gendered exploitation in Pakistan, saying women are expected to perform unpaid labour continuously and can face violence if they fail to meet expectations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another emotional speech came from the sister-in-law of Shanti, a woman who was married young, raped, and later died due to violence inflicted by her husband. \u201cIf this is happening with Shanti, it will continue happening to all mothers,\u201d she told the crowd. \u201cWe teach our daughters that after marriage, they cannot say no, that they must keep the household together even if it destroys them.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For many attendees, the event also represented resistance against fear. Several acknowledged that religious, political, and social backlash has influenced public participation in Aurat March, but said criticism had strengthened rather than weakened their resolve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe fear has always existed,\u201d one attendee said. \u201cBut if we want to stand for something, we have to leave our comfort zone. We are not crossing religious boundaries. Marching and demanding rights is constitutional.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Participants also discussed repeated misinterpretation of slogans such as \u201cMera jism, meri marzi.\u201d \u201cAs a gender minority, I\u2019ve always been told what to do with my body,\u201d one attendee said. \u201cIf it\u2019s my body, then it should be my choice.\u201d They linked the slogan to recent allegations of mishandling during police interaction with activists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Others argued that social media had distorted public perception of the movement by reducing complex issues into viral controversy. \u201cThe media often ignores the actual speeches and demands,\u201d one participant said. \u201cPeople only focus on controversy.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By sunset, the atmosphere at Sea View remained energetic as participants sang, shared personal stories, and raised slogans by the sea, reclaiming both public space and political voice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For organisers and attendees, this year\u2019s Aurat March represented not only protest but a refusal to remain silent in an increasingly hostile environment for dissent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As chants continued into the evening, the central message remained unchanged: the march, despite all obstacles, would continue.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
