Shares the chilling testimony of Mukhtar Mai, a 28-year old Pakistani woman, who, in 2002, was sentenced by Meerwala’s tribal counsel to endure a collective rape in redress for an action committed by her 13-year-old brother, and who, after suffering nameless atrocities, decided to forego the tradition of committing suicide to denounce the crime.
