Ever since the horrible motorway incident, Pakistani women are questioning the safety of the country they live in. Even the authorities are involved in insensitive victim-blaming, instead of providing justice. We are scared, we are angry and we want our public spaces to be safe. So, Aurat March called a nationwide protest to raise voice against rape culture and patriarchal violence.

Here we have picked up some of the most powerful posters that you absolutely have to see:

1. The protest raised very valid questions on the victim-blaming culture

2. Some of the signs at the motorway incident protest asked where would these disgusting men stop at?

3. And that’s the only way to end rapes

4. People with signs at the motorway incident asked where are the authorities when we need them?
