Abstract My topic is as under: Impacts of Feminist Movement on Contemporary Pakistani Family system. Feminist movements globally have altered traditional patriarchal mentalities and helped women negotiate for their social and political space in a male - dominated world. In simple words what have feminist movements striven for, among other things. Equality, however beginning from a historically specific(western). Feminist theories have evolved to appreciate nuances brought about by culture and history across geographical contexts. Broadly speaking, despite the immense differences in different feminisms and critiques of western feminism for being ethnocentric and ignorant of realities of non-western women feminism has striven for agency, freedom and gender equality. Freedom and gender equality have broadly agreed upon definitions, but the word agency here means an individual's potential to act, but only under a given set of cultural, social, political and religious boundaries. Aurat(women) March within a semitheoratic Islamic republic Pakistan. In addition to this argument, this thesis also argues for the creation of more theoretical space to understand feminism in a religious and socially conservative society since its practices, demands and outlook might be different from the western approach, but its aspirations are equally revolutionary and transformative. Eventually, this movement's practices and ideas, are a source of rich theoretical insights. This research gathered data through online semi-structured qualitative interviews with the duration of 25-30 minutes each. The interviewees talked about their affiliations with the march and how they became a part of the march how it helped them to claim their basic rights to express them themselves in a male dominated space. Keywords: Feminism, Women Religion State, Islamic feminism, Liberal feminism, Aurat March.
