Every year the Aurat March is held on March 8 (International Women's Day) and every year there are a whole lot of people on the internet who get angry over posters at the march. There's something about women talking about their issues and them demanding their rights that gets to people online.
This year, we've rounded up some of our favourite posters from the march in Karachi. Here's what people marched for this year.
