This year’s Aurat March in Karachi will take place on March 12 instead of March 8.
The organisers announced their intention to reschedule the march from Women’s Day to the new date in a social media message.
The 20th anniversary of Aurat March Karachi will occur on March 12th, 2023. “They published an Instagram update on their official page. “ We still stand in total solidarity with the impending Marches for Aurat on March 8, 2023 in Hyderabad, Lahore, Islamabad, and Multan, according to the caption.
The protesters will march in assistance of “our hunger, social security, a living wage, an end to bonded labour, rehabilitation of flood victims, an end to mob violence, an end to domestic violence, the Transgender Persons Protection Act 2018 and to end forced conversions,” according to a previous statement from the organisers.
The statement continued by outlining the reasons behind the organisers’ modification of the date. We made the decision to hold the Aurat March in Karachi on March 12 rather than March 8 because that day is a Sunday. By doing this, we would spare the working-class communities we serve the pain of losing a day’s pay. The march will happen on March 12, 2023, with all of its fervour and vigour.
