With 4 to 5 rape cases daily, Pakistan's Punjab declares 'rape emergency'
Have you ever heard of a region in the world where an emergency is declared because of rapes? It is happening in Pakistan. In its Punjab province, rape cases are so endemic that the local government has decided to declare an emergency. While sceptics may say it is a diversionary tactic by the government to shift attention away from local political turmoil, Pakistan's record on sexual violence against women makes this news very easy to believe.
