The Aurat March Lahore demands more holistic reforms which seek to transform society, provide psycho-social support to survivors of violence as well as rehabilitation for perpetrators.
The march advocates structural reforms that prevent patriarchal violence rather than short-term solutions such as capital punishment and chemical castration.
