Women hit the streets Women stage marches, rallies across country to demand social justice, equal rights, end to ‘pandemic of patriarchy’ Women from all walks of life rally in various areas of the provincial capital for social and political equity. PHOTO: EXPRESS ISLAMABAD/ KARACHI/ LAHORE : Thousands of women across the country defied the coronavirus pandemic and took part in annual marches and rallies to mark International Women’s Day, calling for social justice, equal rights and end to what they called “pandemic of patriarchy” in a deeply conservative society. International Women’s Day is observed globally on March 8. This year, however, it remained a muted affair due to the pandemic-induced restrictions on large gatherings. In Pakistan, women came out in large numbers in major urban centres to take part in ‘Aurat Azadi March’ which has become a synonym for women’s struggle for their rights in the country.
