Pakistani | 7 years ago | Reply This savage and barabaric treatment of women has to stop The culprits need to be arrested, jailed, and then put on a sex offenders register witha GPS tracking device of 3 years. When will our Governments, Police, Courts and community leaders take a firm stand against these assaults against women!!
