Holding up a sign that read, “Justifying rape is ‘jestifying’ humanity,” he maintained that no reasoning could ever justify rape. “If someone tries to legitimise it, they are mocking humanity,” he said, adding that he had been part of the Aurat March in Lahore the past two years. “I come to protest the disturbing attitude of men towards women.”Fatima Farooqui held up a placard that turned several heads.
