Abstract

Women's activism has been present in Pakistan since the country's founding, but the country has also witnessed a variety of activism, including women's marches. The current study looks at Western feminism, its goals from the outset, and its achievements to date. This research examines feminist activism in Pakistan, women movements, and the hostility organizers and supporters encountered from the public due to the event's bizarre posters and chants by using a discourse analysis technique. Additionally, it examines the connection between women's marches activism and western feminism from the standpoint of societal change on the social, cultural, and religious fronts. This quantitative study of the slogans' SFL was carried out with the aid of UAM Corpus Software. Scholar examines the slogans using Halliday’s (The essential Halliday Bloomsbury, Publishing, New York, 2009) ideational meta-functions. Through random sampling, information from websites and social media platforms has been gathered. SFL transitivity analysis aids in maintaining the relative objectivity and impartiality of research projects. A thorough examination of every procedure has been carried out in the study. The Material Process has been most frequently utilized in the action-oriented slogans, according to the results. The research concludes that, rather than concentrating on unimportant issues, it is necessary to raise a rational and constructive voice for women's rights with the backing of the general public in order to abolish societal problems. It has also suggested that a framework be created so that one may distinguish between women's rights in the context of western feminism and the restrictions on women's liberation in the context of Islam.
