The protest took place at Athwa Lines Circle, where men are demanding the creation of a commission for men in order to deal with the false cases filed by women. Demonstrators pointed towards the abuse of women rights laws and stated that many men have been the victims of false cases filed under domestic violence and rape.

Placards showcased the number of male suicides from 2014 till 2022.

Slogans like "We Want Justice" were raised demanding punishment for women who make false cases. The group, however, emphasized the requirement of balanced laws and accountability in harassment cases.

They urged the authorities to talk to their problems, to plead their case for fair treatment at the hands of law courts, and to form a commission for men's rights.
