For the past few days, the theme of the Women's March has been very active. Are all Pakistan's problems resolved? The answer will be no. So when the subject has been infected with infectious diseases like Karuna, why is the language becoming so common today? If we look at the history of this march, it is known that the official launch of the Women's March started with Western countries and US states and then the campaign like Pakistan and the rest of the campaign went towards Pakistan. The Women's March is actually a movement that is officially launched on March 8, 2018, in connection with International Women's Day. On this day, women and a few men in different cities of Pakistan including Lahore, Karachi, and Islamabad take part in these demonstrations at the mill. Representatives from several organizations such as the WAF and the WDF are also involved. Also, this march is backed by a number of circles and most of the names of the artist community appear in it. They all carry some posters in their hands that resonate with the following slogans that are like this: My body will do my will, warm my own food and I will heat up the bed. The slogans are the sound of this movement. But nowadays these slogans have become controversial and all these slogans are being treated as vulgar and indecent. If we examine all these slogans in the context of Pakistani dissent and literature, then it would seem that these slogans cannot really be a good message for our society. The message behind all these slogans can be summed up in the best possible way as if we were to say all these slogans wherever my marriage is my will, my dowry is my will, my property is my right, my life is my will. And if blessed, you can more effectively convey the movement's voice to the general public. Regardless of the subject, one can see that progressive and thoughtful thinking has nothing to do with all these motivations and slogans, but they are busy in their own tune and sticking to their success, in which we find a few examples. Referring to women like Fatima Jinnah, Benazir Bhutto, Tania Idrees, Aisha Farooq, Maria Omar, Sanya Nishtar, Jahan Ara, we will see at the forefront who did not allow any weakness to affect her. They did all this while away. Where this view of mine undermines all these subtle slogans (my body is my will). If we refer to Islam there, it would be clear that all these slogans are not new, but before the beginning of Islam, the humanity of the woman was denied and the woman was considered humiliated and she had to live like a subordinate. With the establishment of the religion of Islam, the woman was seen with dignity and this was the place of the woman in the footsteps of Paradise, and Islam gave her all the rights freely which allowed her to become a pre-Islamic woman. The atrocity was recovered. So it seems that the people of the movement are either unfamiliar with the religious teachings or are deliberately exaggerating the subject. Because despite all this, even today, as hard as a woman is against a woman, we see from our own eyes when one woman sees another woman being tortured with her, whether in the form of a mother-in-law or a daughter-in-law and more than that. One woman is responsible for the destruction of another woman's house. If one woman tolerates the other woman's contribution, then the violence that happens to the woman can be significantly reduced. Therefore, all these women have to face the woman before the man to get their rights. And as far as the men are concerned in this case, the men who torture women also face shame and anger from all other men in

society. The benefit of all this discussion is that as a society we all have to go through the process of correcting ourselves and creating the most important endurance material within ourselves so that we can understand each other's feelings. Additionally, we have to expose all the black sheep inside us, who are responsible for the chaos in society. The government also has to look at the matter sensitively so that no one is mistreated. Now if the High Court has allowed this march with certain conditions then it will have to be seen that these terms do not deviate from it and it marches within all boundaries.
