The organisers of annually-held Aurat March have released the Urdu version of the Chilean protest song A Rapist in Your Path that talks about rape culture and victim-shaming. A Rapist in Your Path is based on the work of Argentinian theorist Rita Segato, who debates that sexual violence is a political problem, not a moral one. The organisers have also made some additions to the original lyrics to include feudal and clerics in the song. Another part of the song describes the ways how women are blamed for falling victim to sexual violence. “And it’s not my fault, nor where I was, nor what I wore,” it says, adding: “The rapist is you”.
