Guftagu #3: Aurat (Women’s) March

“Our slogan this year was ‘behnchara ke baghair no guzara’, which means ‘nothing without sisterhood’, and I feel that in the depth of my soul, because of the sisterhood, community, and collective love I felt for these women … we all pushed through, we held each others’ hands, and we still marched.”

This week, we talked to Mahnoor Omer, an organiser for Aurat March (Women’s March) in Islamabad about the growing feminist movement in Pakistan, its manifesto, and its future. 

Guftagu, a podcast in collaboration with the LSE SU Pakistan Society, focuses on issues related to South Asian social issues, culture, identity, and politics.
