Now almost everyone has come to know about the celebrations of 8th of March- International Women's day. This day has long been ignored in the past centuries but there came a time when the Socialist Party of America took a step towards organizing the Women's Day in 1909, in New York and in 1910, it was decided that this day will be held annually. The women gained a lot of sufferings in the Soviet Union in 1917, after that, 8th of March was declared as a public holiday there. Later it was adopted by Untied Nations. This year the theme of this day remained “Think Equal, Build Smart, Innovate for Change”.
Different Cities of Pakistan arranged celebrations at different levels for the Women's Day. On large basis it was overlooked and still now only a few amount of people support this movement but this Day has made it's way into people's heart and now it is being celebrated world-wide.
Masses have become mindful of providing the rights to women/ girls since we have taken stand for ourselves. "Aurat kisi ki Jagir Nahin Hae" we know to handle our own issues, we are decisive and want to live in our own way. Till how far we will be guided by our so-called carers?? Such things need to be stopped.
The day before today, "Aurat Azadi March" was held at Islamabad Press Club, such awareness is a need of society, they instilled in woman that she is not someone's property, she is also someone.
The settings of our ambience show that some people have taken wrong meaning to the theory of FEMINISM, it doesn't permit one to insult the opposite gender like girls standing on roads while holding pieces written on them "tumhare baap ka rasta nahin hai", such slogans which are being used by the majority not actually define the rights and feminism as a whole, this is an abusive behavior of one gender towards the other and such people are causing damage to the authentic and very straight-forward meanings of women's rights, equality and if we sum it up in a single word then, FEMINISM.
If people are denying the theory, rights and labeling as vulgar is because of swinish slogans used by some females. Rights can be achieved through proper means of decency and I think the accepted standards of morality can bring rights to females in more respectful way.
Women's Day celebration is good to bring realization in the blocked frame of mind and society where the male domination is all the rumination and CAPITALIST PATRIARCHY has set wrong standards. We as a woman stand in need to cross out this stage from the surroundings. Women Democratic Front is an urge of the hour to make a change in the global order and appropriacy of steps matter a lot in transforming the power to equal level.
