Ali Gul Pir, Pakistan’s famous rapper, television, voice actor, and stand-up comedian, has released a new song that has become quite a trailblazer with its strong message on domestic violence, and everyday harassment women face in Pakistani society.

The song titled ‘Tera Jism, Meri Marzi’ (Your body, my choice), tries to highlight the true meaning of the Aurat March slogan ‘Mera jism, meri marzi’ (My body, my choice), has already crossed over 50,000 views ever since it was posted on YouTube on March 7 to commemorate International Women’s Day on March 8.

However, everyone is gushing about the entry of Eva B, the first woman rapper from Lyari, Karachi. The burqa-clad Eva B has added freshness to the song, which covers several types of harassment and injustice faced by women.

Although, some of the lyrics are crass, it puts across the mental trauma and harassment women face in Pakistani society. The music video shows a wife being beaten by her husband and then fighting back.

Eva B lyrics mirror Gul Pir’s rap, and acts as a reply to the crassness. “Bold and sharp, Eva B takes pride in the choices women make; whether it is wearing a hijab, completing their education or fulfilling their obligations,” according to Dawn.

The rap also points out that not only daughters but sons are not safe from incidents of rape and injustices. The song seeks to empower women by asking them to speak up. It has a common refrain in the song: “Chup aurat achi, bolnay wali gandi (A quiet woman is a good one, the one who speaks up is bad).”

Gul Pir had earlier too highlighted gender-based violence. He had also raised concerns about street harassment women face.

The music video is in line with the theme of this year’s Aurat March that saw huge participation by women from all walks of life on March 8. The slogan 'Mera jism, meri marzi' has raised the hackles of conservative Pakistanis, who have called the slogan “vulgar.” The song was an attempt to silence those critics with its biting sarcasm.

The song takes a dig at men who believe women should have no authority over their own bodies and harass them both mentally, emotionally, and physically.
