From Palestine to children’s education rights, this year’s placards showed solidarity with a myriad of causes.
Every year, the Aurat March is held on International Women’s Day — March 8 — and people pour in from all corners of the city to stand with women and other marginalised communities. As part of their protest, marchers often carry posters and placards featuring issues closest to their hearts.
This year, we rounded up our favourite posters at the Aurat March and Ehtejaji Mela (Women’s March and Protest Festival) in Karachi.
This group of friends had pretty cool posters calling for “another push to the wall of patriarchy” (right), the iconic Aurat March catchphrase “my body my choice” (centre) and “a woman’s place is in the resistance” (left). We couldn’t agree more with each of these!
