Background
Mera Jism Meri Marzi (English : My Body My Choice) is a feminist slogan raised by Pakistani feminists in regard to women rights. The slogan was popularized by Aurat March (English : Female March) observed on International Women’s Day 2018. A number of controversial slogans and placards were used by protesters and organizers of the march. As a result, the march came under heavy criticism by rightists. It was thought that by using such slogans, feminists were demanding freedom for nudity and vulgarity in the country.
Feminists defended themselves by saying that these slogans had been used to highlight the abuse and harassment suffered by women. According to feminists, the slogan Mera Jism Meri Marzi needs academic support to be understood. It underlines injustices, inequality and violence inflicted to Pakistani women such as honor killing, child rape, aged men marrying underage girls, unwanted pregnancies and sexual harassment of women in offices and public places.
