"Not on my name anymore", the chant that echoed across Karachi against what many women in Pakistan call the West-funded and defined feminism in their country. These black-clad Muslim women are on the streets of Karachi to demand their Islamic-rights in the face of distorted definition of freedom, disseminated from the West.
Amidst the Islamophobic, anti-Hijab policies, the West is also selling its brand of feminism under the garb of women's rights that these women believe is targeting Muslim values.
Speakers at the rally said that Islam is pretty clear on family and the role of its organizer, the women. They noted that Muslims must not fall prey to Western pseudo-slogans of freedom that only objectify women.
Participants at the rally stressed that they are here to show the world that Islam has given men and women equal rights.
Participants shed light on violence against women and demanded the central government to implement more Islamic laws to prevent it.
