String of Sexual Attacks on Children Has Pakistan Focusing on Rape
As recently as a decade ago rape stories were taboo and wouldn't make the national news
In a rural village in Pakistan's eastern rice belt, two teenage sisters left for school one recent day on a muddy path far too narrow for cars.
Within hours, they were dead, their bodies left facedown along a swampy canal after they were raped and shot multiple times, the medical examiner reported. By the next morning, their deaths were news across Pakistan, the latest in a grisly stream of sexual attacks on minors.
