Huge Rally in Pakistan for Women’s Rights [View all]
Tens of thousands of women rallied in Pakistan's southern port city of Karachi Sunday to call for improved rights and gender equality.
Organizers of the event called “Empowered Women – Stronger Pakistan” said more than half a million female activists and supporters of the Muttahida Qaumi Movement political party took part, while local media reported up to a million participants. The exact number could not be independently verified.
