Veteran actress and activist Sania Saeed has spoken out boldly following the tragic case of Sana Yousaf, shedding light on the deeper purpose of the Aurat March and women’s struggle for safety, choice, and dignity.
In a recent statement, Sania said:
“Aurat March exists because women like Sana Yousaf are killed for saying no.”
Her words quickly spread across social media, reflecting the anger, grief, and urgency felt by many over the brutal realities women face in Pakistan.
The statement was not just about one case, but a reflection of widespread gender-based violence that women encounter when they assert autonomy over their lives.
Sania’s powerful words echo the message of countless activists who have long stressed that:
Aurat March is not a trend or rebellion it is a response to injustice, silencing, and fear.
As conversations reignite around the importance of women’s rights and safety, Sania Saeed’s voice stands tall among those calling for real change not just slogans.
