In a groundbreaking move, the Aurat March Lahore has unveiled its highly anticipated 2024 manifesto, focusing on the key themes of “Siyasat” (Politics), “Muzahamat” (Resistance), and “Azadi” (Liberation). The manifesto seeks to critique and challenge existing political structures, promote solidarity with local and global resistance movements, and push for systemic reforms to achieve genuine liberation.
Siyasat: A Call for Inclusive Politics
The manifesto critically examines the patriarchal and exclusive nature of mainstream politics, shedding light on the marginalization of women and other oppressed groups. Under the theme of “Siyasat,” the Aurat March Lahore advocates for a more inclusive and equitable political landscape that ensures meaningful participation and representation for all.
Muzahamat: Emphasizing Solidarity in Resistance
Emphasizing the importance of solidarity, the manifesto underlines that electoral politics alone cannot bring about systemic change. The focus on “Muzahamat” encourages creative and united forms of resistance beyond voting, both locally and globally. This approach aims to strengthen the impact of collective efforts for social transformation.
Azadi: Demanding Systemic Reforms for True Liberation
Under the banner of “Azadi,” the manifesto demands systemic reforms to enhance transparency, accountability, and accessibility in politics. It specifically calls for comprehensive campaign financing regulations to prevent corporate influence, ensuring a class-inclusive electoral process. Additionally, the manifesto urges the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) to implement reforms for transparent election result announcements and to restore public trust through structural changes.
Comprehensive Vision for Transformation
Overall, the Aurat March Lahore’s 2024 manifesto presents a comprehensive vision for political, social, and economic transformation in Pakistan. The principles of inclusivity, solidarity, and liberation drive the movement’s agenda, reflecting a commitment to fostering positive change.
