  • MediaDB / «Dishonored" Mukhtar Mai: download fb2, read online

    About the book: 2011 / She was 30 years old when a group of scumbag fellow villagers from a hostile clan raped her in front of a crowd of 200 people. And no one dared to say a word against it, because the fanatics were thus allegedly administering a “righteous” trial in strict accordance with the traditions of the Pakistani community. After such humiliation, a woman, according to custom, is obliged to commit suicide in order to avoid shame. But Mukhtar Mai had enough willpower and courage to go against the mossy rules and traditions. She did not commit suicide, but began a difficult struggle for justice. The true story of Mukhtar Mai formed the basis of this frank and passionate confession. Her book was published in 27 languages. And the popular women's magazine Glamor, at its sixteenth ceremony, rewarding women of the year, presented Mukhtar with an award in the category “The Bravest Woman.”».
