– Makes my heart shudder

A dozen women’s rights groups are now demanding an apology from the prime minister.

– This is dangerously simplified and only reinforces the general perception in the public that women are “knowing” victims and men are “helpless” attackers, reads a joint statement.

Women’s rights activist Kanwal Ahmed has the following crystal clear message on Twitter:

“It makes my heart shudder to think how many rapists feel validated (recognized / validated editor’s note) with the prime minister supporting their crime.”

– Defender of rape

The vice president of the Pakistan Muslim League (PML-N), Maryam Nawaz, goes to great lengths to accuse Khan of being a defender of rape, and that people who validate rape have the same mindset and attitude as the rapists themselves. Maryam Nawaz is the daughter of former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif.

The statement also triggered the mobilization of planned protests in cities such as Karachi and Lahore this weekend.

Khan has previously advised women to “cover up” to prevent rape.

Pakistan is a country with a strong code of honor where the woman’s position in the family is suppressed. Women who bring shame on the family can be subjected to acts of violence and, in the worst case, murder.

Only 0.3 percent are convicted

There are at least eleven daily rape reports in Pakistan and over 22,000 rapes that have been reported to the police in the last six years, according to official figures released by the website The News.

But only 77 rape defendants have been convicted, which is as little as 0.3 percent of the total number of rape reports.
