Mukhtar Mai's trial of strength
http://news.independent.co.uk/world/asia/article310969.ece
After being gang-raped as part of an inter-family dispute in Pakistan,
tradition dictated Mukhtar Mai should commit suicide in shame. But
instead she decided to speak out against her attackers and fight for
justice. Justin Huggler tells her amazing story
Published: 11 September 2005
She is the last to enter the room. It is almost as if she slips in
behind the others, a small woman, her slight figure hidden in the folds
of her brightly coloured salwar kazmeez. When it comes time to talk,
she is happy to let the others do most of the talking, preferring to
leaf through a pile of magazines, shyly pretending to study the
pictures.
But she's the one we've come to meet. This is Mukhtar Mai, the most
famous Pakistani woman in the world. The tragedy of it is that her fame
is a result of being gang-raped at gunpoint by four men from her
village as an "honour punishment".
