There is an organisation the initials of which are WAR - it stands of War Against Rape. Lots of people condemned the name of the organisation and said it should be seen, because it is shameful. The purpose of that organisation was as stated, it was to help women who have been victims and want justice.
A great deal of coverage has been given to several women. The twisted values is that a woman deserves to be raped if she dares to be intimate with someone or if she has offended some influential men. An entire category of people who are abo ve the law and they rape with impunity, they cannot be stopped.
This being said, the media is supposed to portray an asexual society which knows nothing about sex, detests sex or anything related to it. The anti-AIDS campaign is a complete failure because there is hardly any mention of sex - because of the fear of offending anyone.
Sex is like something which the rich and powerful can talk about out loud, while the weak and impoverished have to stay silent.
Cable channels have been ordered to show only PG rated shows and movies anything beyond that is prohibited. The ban on the Internet continues. The current policy is to please the ignorant and stupid mullahs, without regard what the general public thinks. General Zia introduced the Hudood Ordinance the result was that any woman could be accused of adultery or fornication and jailed. The Mullahs do not want this law to go because they fear that they will no longer be able violently dominate women. The existing junta is releasing who have been jailed on these charges. The obsession of the Mullahs with sex and all things sexual amounts to some kind of perversion. Perhaps they like retraints and bondage than to have normal sex.
But for the present the world is being told ' No sex please we are Pakistanis'
