On the Mic #8: Amna Chaudhry | Aurat March 2020 | Feminism in Pakistan

<p><strong>Amna Chaudhry is a volunteer for Aurat March Lahore.</strong> She is involved in organising the event for this year and mobilising people for the cause.</p> <p>We discuss the upcoming Aurat March in detail, along with the vision and purpose it aspires to achieve. Amna explains Aurat March's Charter of Demands along with the rationale behind it. We also chat about the negative criticism and backlash that last year's Aurat March received, and why the country perceives this movement so negatively and suspiciously. This is linked to an overall discussion we have where Amna tells us why feminism is so maligned in the country and whether feminism and our cultural/religious values can be aligned.</p> <p>Aurat March Lahore 2020 - 8th March, 11:00 AM - Lahore Press Club</p> <p>Event page: https://www.facebook.com/events/285831672393941/</p> <p>To donate funds please send a message at https://www.facebook.com/auratmarchlahore/</p> <p>Edited by Umer Fasie Bashir &nbsp;</p> <p>Follow us on:&nbsp;</p> <p>FACEBOOK &nbsp;https://www.facebook.com/onthemicoffi... &nbsp;</p> <p>INSTAGRAM &nbsp;https://www.instagram.com/onthemic_of... &nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>TWITTER &nbsp;https://twitter.com/on_themic &nbsp;</p> <p>Connect with us: &nbsp;</p> <p>INSTAGRAM &nbsp;</p> <p>Umer Fasie Bashir (Editor): https://www.instagram.com/umerfasieb/ &nbsp;</p> <p>TWITTER&nbsp;</p> <p>Ismail Farooq (Host): https://twitter.com/thehalfspaces&nbsp;</p> <p>Amna Chaudhry (Guest): https://twitter.com/amnachaudhry03</p>
