| 18 In June 2002, 30-year-old Mukhtar was publicly gang-raped in Meerwala, Pakistan. She was punished because her young brother was rumored to have been seen in the company of a girl from a rival tribe. When Mukhtar rushed to the tribal court to plead for her brother, he was let off but she was handed out this punishment to set an example to others. Four "volunteers" raped her, she was beaten and paraded naked before her father covered her with a shawl and took her home. The story could have ended there. But it did not. Mukhtar's family and a close group of her friends decided to take up the matter. Mukhtar is an educated woman and taught Islam to children in her village. The local cleric from the mosque came to her aid and spoke up against the crime. He joined her friends who demanded that the rapists be punished. The case became known in Pakistan and many groups supported her. As a result, her case was brought to trial is a special court and in July 2002, six of the accused were handed the death sentence. Mukhtar was awarded a compensation that she used to start a school for girls. The convicted men appealed the ruling of the special court and earlier this month, on March 3, the Lahore High Court overturned the earlier ruling. It appeared as if all was lost. Even though women's groups rallied around Mukhtar Mai and on March 8, International Women's Day, they demonstrated their support for her, Mukhtar feared the future now that the perpetrators of the crime were to be freed. Once again, she was lucky. On March 12, the Federal Shariat Court overruled the Lahore High Court and has ordered a re-trial. This has given Mukhtar some reason for hope and a greater sense of security as the men remain in jail. However, the Shariat Court will re-examine the case according to the Hudood Ordinance, which holds out very little hope for rape victims. In Pakistan, Mukhtar's story is not unique. According to women's activists, just in the first half of 2004, over 150 women were [raped on orders from tribal courts, a detestable custom called "karo kari".] | In June 2002, 30-year-old Mukhtar was publicly gang-raped in Meerwala, Pakistan.

| They have been demanding a law to ban this, but have had little luck so far. But Mukhtar Mai's struggle certainly holds out an inspiring example to other women who might feel that life was not worth living after such a horrendous experience. Mukhtar Mai's story has not yet ended. But the way she has fought up to now is an uplifting example for all women, not just those who are victims of sexual crimes. | They have been demanding a law to ban this, but have had little luck so far.
