HONOUR !!!

In the Name of Honour by Mukhtar Mai, and this is what printed at the back cover:

Mukhtar Mai came to prominence in June 2002, when journalists in Pakistan first learned of her gang rape, punishment for an 'honour crime' allegedly committed by her brother, an offence for which there was never any proof. After the horrific rape, custom dictated that she would kill herself. But Mai defied custom. In an unprecedented act of courage, she took her rapists to court. In this rousing and moving account, Mai describes her experiences and readers get a rare look inside a world of ancient tribal justice, rampant illiteracy, poverty, and economic and sexual bondage.

Mukhtar Mai pitted herself against the system with extraordinary courage and strength of purpose. Timely and topical, 'In the Name of Honour' is the inspirational true story of a woman who continues to fight against exceptional odds; since the trial some of the convictions have been overturned, leaving Mai in a decidedly dangerous situation. Nevertheless, Mukhtar Mai remains in her village where she runs the first ever school for girls--seeded with money awarded to her by the Pakistani government in her historic settlement--and is an eager pupil there herself.I like this kind of true account where a normal human being fight against the odds and hardship to achieve what they believe is right.

To claim back what she had lost and to show to those people that she is not just an ordinary girl.
