I had much more to say that's why I decided to add another post rather than extending the previous one...
All these NGOs have been collecting donations from all over the world in the name of protecting and fighting for women like Ms. Mai in Pakistan. There is nothing bad in that.
BUT, right here, we can see what kind of luxuries have become afordable to those who have been the victims of such horrific incidents.
For example, Ms. Mai is seen quite often travelling by air from Multan to Islamabad along with her brother. Is this mandatory for a rape victim to travel by air by spending Rs. 3,000 to Rs. 4000 for a return ticket in a country where 35% of the whole population lives below poverty line.
Would not those who don't have a dollar to earn a day get tempted?
And why don't those who are financing these luxuries spend the same amount of money on patients who cannot afford hospital fees?

Hmmmmmm hasan i read all topics in your blog all the topics are very good.But i like this topic that You got to be a victim to travel by air for free...And lastly what u have said that people who bought luxuries must think abt poor people in our country.And i think if every one will start thinking in this way than we can overcome with most of our difficulties.
Good attempt carry on hopefully we shall get more and more interesting topics in your blogs.Best of luck.
thanks for your comments. I would have been even more delighted if I could know who this beautiful person is...
... I don't know the story about Mai.. but I'm surprised about the spending spree....
i gotta do a search on this.. thanks for the lead!
You are always welcome!
Just to give you an idea, Mukhtaran Mai was alledgely gang-raped on orders from a Village council after her brother was found guilty of abducting another woman. Ms. Mai lives in a village near the Pakistani city of Multan.
