WDF aims to unite women across the country to build a socialist feminist movement to transform the International Women's Day celebration in Pakistan into real means of action. The manifesto and constitution of WDF strives to a broad-based struggle against capitalism, patriarchy, religious fascism, national oppression and Pakistan's authoritarian political system.
The Front was inaugurated on International Women's Day, 2018, when a large number of students, working women, intellectuals and political activists gathered for Aurat Azadi March, 2018.
