A patriarchy pandemic: The best of the Aurat March
It's Women's Day today and you know what that means — Aurat March posters galore! We love seeing the amazing and creative posters people come up with for the marches every year.
This year, because of the pandemic, attendance at the marches was lower than previous years but many people were there in spirit! In fact, some of the organisers of the marches asked people to share their posters online if they weren't able to come to the March in person. However, marches were still held in Lahore and Islamabad, and a dharna (sit-in) in Karachi.
Here are some of our favourite posters from this year's Aurat March.

Here is what has been happening at different marches in each city.

Pure joy.

Lahore
In Lahore, the Aurat March started from the Lahore Press Club and moved to the Punjab Assembly building.
The Aurat March Lahore organisers also laid out a "#MeToo blanket" on which women shared their experiences of sexual violence and abuse.
