The crime of rape is not new to our society, nor can one realistically hope to stamp it out altogether. But the encouraging aspect is that more and more victims are stepping forward to report the offence and ramping up pressure on the beasts in men’s clothing to desist from their horrific acts. This particular case provides one important lesson: Do not trust your friends blindly, or you could be putting yourselves in harm’s way. As this Mansehra victim learnt the hard way, they could end up ruining your life.

Why pass statements like 'ruin her life'. It should and has ruined the life and after life of the perpetrators of the rape! the woman was a victim but she should be seen as a symbol of chnage, a strong woman who overcame the attempts by men to subjugate and reduce her to an object of sexuality into a woman who can punish those who regard her as inferior.
