Alleged gang-rape of woman on moving train sparks anger in Pakistan
The alleged gang-rape of a woman on a moving train has sparked anger in Pakistan, putting the spotlight on the South Asian nation's poor record with women's rights.
Three men -- one of them a ticket checker -- have been accused of raping the woman, a 25-year-old mother of two, as she traveled from the city of Karachi to Multan in Pakistan's Punjab province last week, according to Pakistan's Railway Ministry. It added the attack took place after the men asked her to move to a carriage with air conditioning.
The incident has sparked anger in the democracy of 220 million, which has a poor track record in protecting women's rights and where brutal acts of gender-based violence and sexual assault frequently make the headlines.
