Slogans of Pakistani women in the Women's March in view of Islamic values

Historically, Pakistan has been based on an ideology and that ideology is Islam. Islam has given social rights to women. The Qur'an is the basic and paramount source of Islamic sciences. It describes the rights of women in detail. There is even a major Surah in the Qur'an, “Surat al-Nisa” which is a Surah for women's rights. In the name of women's rights, a voice came from the West and then spread all over the world. UN agencies came into action and laws on women's rights began to be enacted and International Women's Day was celebrated. Its effects have also been felt in Pakistan and for almost four to five years, the Women's March has been celebrated in Pakistan as well. The Women's March chanted slogans that demanded women's freedom, will, identity, and other rights. This research paper is an attempt to explore the fact that what is need for women to use these slogans in the Islamic society of Pakistan. Furthermore, this research article also covers the debate on how these demands of women can be analyzed in the light of Pakistan's objective circumstances, culture, and Islamic values. This research paper will help to determine new avenues of research by clarifying the need, importance, and causes of the women's march in Pakistan.
