Since Titanic was sinking by the head, simple physics meant that the aft was lifting from the water, like a see-saw. Natural human instincts for survival dictated that passengers seek the high ground, which in Titanic's case, was the stern.

By getting to the stern, it gives them as much time as possible to stay on the ship before it sank. It also gave them a chance to perhaps latch on to any debris (outside of lifeboats) that is floating once the stern goes into the water.

The remaining passengers went to the stern because of a human instinct for survival by staying out of the sea as long as possible.

The passengers on Titanic heading to the aft were responding to a call for self-preservation, fully aware that the ocean water was deadly and that she was sinking by the bow..

On the Titanic the captain decided to use a women and children first protocol where seats in the limited number of lifeboats would be given to women first and any remaining space once the women were loaded to men.
