The gang-rape of a woman in Pakistan’s capital, Islamabad, has sparked furious protests at the country’s “rape epidemic” and the culture of impunity that surrounds violence against women.
The 24-year-old was walking with a male colleague through Fatima Jinnah park – known locally as F-9 park, the city’s largest – at about 8pm last Thursday when they were attacked by two armed men. The man was chased away and the woman raped.
