  • Sisters, left to right, Zubada and Tasleem, holding daughter Rafiabibi, 6, Dera, Pakistan, April 26, 2004. They talk about their horrible experience of being gang raped by neighbors who felt they were dishonored by Zubada's son Naeem. Members of the Human Rights Commission in Multan, including social worker Asia Perveen, are working with the women to get them legal representation so they can fight the accusers in court. "I want them to be punished," said Tasleem. "They are our enemies, I will be afraid until they are hanged publicly." Until now, the accused rapists are still at large.
