By Candace Sutton WHEN she was gang-raped by four men at the age of 13, her village classed her as a "black virgin" and ordered her killed. In the rural village of Dadu in southern Pakistan, tradition held that Kainat Soomro's own family should murder her, as her sexual assault had made her a token of disgrace. Four years later, Kainat is alive and a documentary about her story is premiering on television in the US. But that doesn't mean she or her family is safe. © 2024 Children's Rights Institute. |
