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.

There's a patriarchy pandemic

Mask up, eyes down

You don't have to be a woman to be a feminist

Memes against misogyny

When dirty minds are prioritised over menstrual health

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

Islamabad

Pure joy.

Karachi

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.
