During the rally, human rights activists, youth, and intellectuals carried posters, placards, banners, and signs with slogans, singing awareness songs and chanting powerful slogans such as "Human rights are everyone's right, no to oppression," "Give the gift of equality—human rights," "This is the call of every person: human dignity - human rights." They also distributed pamphlets, stickers, and informational materials. Following the rally, the organization's office bearers and human rights experts addressed the gathering.
National President Mohammad Raji said that the organization's objective is to develop an understanding of fundamental rights among the people and to raise awareness in society against injustice, discrimination, and violence. Such rallies are considered an important means of bringing about positive change in society. The rally aimed to provide information about human rights – informing people about rights such as life, liberty, equality, education, expression, and security; to prevent discrimination and violence – raising a voice against injustice based on caste, religion, gender, class, or language; to empower vulnerable groups – conveying the message of protecting the rights of women, children, persons with disabilities, and minorities; to strengthen social unity – uniting all people to ensure equal respect and justice; and to provide information about legal rights – raising awareness about the Human Rights Commission, complaint procedures, and support systems.
