14-Year-Old Gang Rá-pe-d By 4 Men, Condemned To Death By Her Village



When a girl was gáng-rá-ped by four men at the age of 13, her village named her a "black vírgin" and ordered to kill her.
According to tradition, in the rural village of Dadu in southern Pakistan, Kainat Soomro's own family should murder her, as her s-exuál assault had made her a token of disgrace.
Four years later, Kainat is alive and a documentary about her story is premiering on television in the US.
But that doesn't mean she or her family is safe. The movie Outlawed in Pakistanshows, Kainat Soomro is still "destined to be killed" because she took the step - extraordinary in Pakistan - of fighting for justice.
