The “Aurat March”, this year, will be held in Karachi on May 11, 2025 instead of International Women’s Day, in view of respect for the holy month of Ramazan.

Our movement will also raise it’s voice regarding the missing persons in Balochistan, as well as the struggle ongoing in Palestine and Ukraine.

These views were expressed by the organizers of the Aurat March while holding a press conference on Women’s Day at the Karachi Press Club.

On this occasion, social activist, classical dancer and founder of the Tehreek-e-Niswan, Sheema Kirmani, while talking to , said that this year, they are not organizing the Aurat March on Women’s Day, but will organize it on May 11 in Karachi to pay tribute to the struggle of our domestic workers.

She explained that women working in homes told her that it is very difficult for them to leave their homes during this month, so they decided that since the month of May is important with regard to Labor Day and International Mother’s Day and the biggest worker in our society is women, the Aurat March should also be organized in this month.
