The Women Activism in Pakistan: An Analysis of ‘Aurat March

In Pakistan, although women’s activism was initiated since the country came into existence, but a diverse activism was observed by the nation in the form of ‘Aurat March during 2018-2020. The current study examines the Western feminism, what it was initiated for and its accomplishments in the current time. By employing a discourse analysis approach to the ‘Aurat March event, this study highlights the women’s activism in Pakistan, ‘Aurat March and the antipathy faced by organizers and supporters from the public because of its strange slogans and ridiculous placards. It also observes the relationship between western feminism and ‘Aurat March activism from the perspective of the social, cultural, and religious transformation of society. The study finds the need to raise a constructive and logical voice for women’s rights with support of the public to eradicate social evils instead of focusing on insignificant matters. It has further recommended that there is a need to build a framework in which one may be able to differentiate women’s rights in the context of western feminism and the limitation of women’s emancipation in Islamic context.

Limiting Reiteration for Real Interpolation and Optimal Sobolev Embeddings

Firstly, sharp reiteration theorems for the K−interpolation method in limiting cases are proved using two-sided estimates of the K−functional. As an application, sharp mapping properties of the Riesz potential are derived in a limiting case. Secondly, we prove optimal embeddings of the homogeneous Sobolev spaces built-up over function spaces in R n with K−monotone and rearrangement invariant norm into another rearrangement invariant function spaces. The investigation is based on pointwise and integral estimates of the rearrangement or the oscillation of the rearrangement of f in terms of the rearrangement of the derivatives of f .
