Topic: Aurat March, the hot topic in town
Few days ago, Sir Khalil u Rehman Qamar insulted Madam Marvi in a talk
show. Marvi abuses on Twitter. Another Aurat march on Women’s Day, a lot of
misconceptions and many misinterpretations. If we try to sum up the last week
in Pakistan then it would not be wrong to say it was one heck of a battle
between feminists and anti-feminists, yet we all fail to understand so many
things. None of us can truly declare the idea of wrong and right, can we?
Objectives of the feminist movement
If you look at the main objectives of the feminist movement or the
Aurat March phenomenon, then you would realize that they are not that wrong.
And then came to the busters, the placards, so some women thought that getting
the right to sit the way you want is more important than getting rights of
inheritance, that’s where the feud somehow begins. They will surely be unaware
of the concepts of culture and civilization, and I won’t lie I have been of the
same group. Asking a western person to wear an eastern dress every day is
pretty similar to what many women have started fighting for.
It is never a bad move when a group of people stand up to get their
rights of liberation, but if those people stand up to challenge the cultural
norms of a centuries-old society then things get fishy. People would ask
themselves if this is some kind of foreign agenda or a real feminist movement.
This is a fight for freedom and respect or just merely a fight
causing chaos.
Dear Humans,
No one is asking anyone, not to follow the feminist movement or not
to go to the Aurat March, but before doing any action you need to be clear
about what you want and what are you standing for?
Are you just being another follower of the crowd or do you actually
stand for something substantial?
Dear humans, men or women, you matter, so do your choices, be clear
about them and Stand for what really feels right to the heart, not to the world
and its people because they change their minds the moment you leave.
