Social change activist and artist Shehzil Malik took to social media to call for poster design submissions for this year’s Aurat March.
The march was organized by feminist collective Hum Aurtain in Karachi last year to bring women together in a public space to raise voice for their rights in the country.
Shehzil shared a poster with the caption “Be part of Aurat March 2020 by designing a poster that shows why you think womxn should march for their rights in Pakistan.”
She also explained the meaning of the term ‘womxn.’ In a separate tweet. “Womxn is a term that is used to be inclusive of trans and non-binary women.”
Aurat March started in 2018, where many women, children and men got together in Karachi only. Last year, the march extended to other cities such as Lahore, Islamabad, Hyderabad, Quetta, Peshawar and Faisalabad. Many people took part in the movement for gender justice. The march across different cities of Pakistan is held to celebrate International Women’s Day that is on March 8.
