Mukhtaran Mai, a villager in Pakistan, saw a tribal feud over her brother’s affair erupt into violence: the boy was beaten and sexually assaulted, and she was gang‑raped with her father’s and uncle’s involvement. Defying the pressure to kill herself to preserve family honor, she reported the crime, pursued the attackers—including a cleric—and turned the ordeal into an international campaign for women’s rights, becoming a Middle‑East role model.
