Sentenced to be Raped

This Pakistani woman was "punished" for an alleged affair that her brother had. Because he supposedly had an affair, she was sentenced to be gang raped by the woman's brothers. After the sentence was completed, and she walked home naked in front of the whole town, she was expected to commit suicide. Instead she charged the men with rape, won a settlement and built two schools. She still depends on round the clock police protection to keep her rapists' families from killing her in revenge.

Sentenced to Be Raped

Talk about a strong woman!
