Mukhtar Mai
Mukhtar Mai was gang-raped on the orders of a “panchayat” (village council) as an honour revenge because her 12-year old brother was accused of having illicit relations with a woman from a powerful rival clan. She had done absolutely nothing, but according to the custom, when the wrongdoing of a man is concerned, the woman should take the blame, the fault and the punishment.
Her father was forced to watch.
Rather than kill herself or go into hiding as custom might have expected, she swore she would have justice she pressed charges, and her fight became an international cause that is still continuing.
Mukhtar Mai is now a champion of women’s rights fighting for the rights of not only herself, but of all the Pakistani women living in oppression. She opened the Mukhtar Mai’s Girls Model School, operating under the banner of “ending oppression through education.”
She runs the Mukhtar Mai Women’s Welfare Organization, a safe haven dedicated to helping rape, violence, and abuse survivors in need of assistance. Mukhtar now operates and oversees two girls’ schools, a shelter home for survivors of gender-based violence, and countless other resources for the women of rural Punjab.
Mukhtar Mai’s memoir “In the Name of Honor: A Memoir.” Has been released in a number of different languages under various titles.
Despite her international renown, Mukhtar still lives in fear for her life, and Local tribe members continually aim to thwart her humanitarian efforts.
The rapists were at first sentenced to death but five of them were later acquitted on appeal and another had his sentence cut to life.
And the battle for justice continues…
