The Aurat March Karachi has announced a tongue‑in‑cheek award that has set social media buzzing: “Misogynist of the Year.” The organisers revealed the plan ahead of their 2026 march, scheduled for May 10 at Sea View, and invited the public to submit the most misogynistic remarks made by cisgender men over the past year .
The group said the idea was simple — Pakistan’s women hear so much misogyny, so often, that people forget who said what. The award is meant to jog memories and spotlight the everyday sexism that shapes public life. The “trophy,” a golden chapal, has already become a talking point online.
Organisers expect a flood of nominations, given the sheer volume of sexist comments that surface in politics, entertainment and social media. Supporters say the award is a sharp, satirical way to call out misogyny in a country where women’s rights activists are routinely targeted.
The Aurat March has long been criticised by conservative groups, but its supporters argue that humour and satire are powerful tools in a society where women face harassment, discrimination and violence on a daily basis.
With the comments section already filling up, the only question now is: who will Pakistan crown as its “biggest loser of the year”?
