Are all cultures equal?

Police in Pakistan have opened cases against hundreds of unidentified men after a young woman was sexually assaulted and groped by a crowd of more than 400 men in a park in Lahore as she made a TikTok video.

The shocking assault was captured on several videos, which went viral and showed a mob descend on the woman as she was in Lahore’s Greater Iqbal park making a TikTok video with friends. In broad daylight, the men picked up the young woman and tossed her between them, tearing her clothes and assaulting and groping her.

The woman registered a case against 300 to 400 unidentified persons with Lahore police, according to the case report seen by the Guardian.

“The crowd pulled me from all sides to such an extent that my clothes were torn. I was hurled in the air. They assaulted me brutally,” the woman said in a statement to the police. She said the crowd also stole her money, earrings and a phone.

The footage prompted a wave of disgust and anger in Pakistan. The country’s information minister, Fawad Chaudhry, said arrests were being made. Some perpetrators have been identified through CCTV footage and eyewitness accounts. Chaudhry said: “We are working on it full throttle. Prime minister has taken notice also.”

Activists, politicians, celebrities, Amnesty International and people across Pakistan expressed their anger over the assault. The chairperson of the Pakistan People’s Party, Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, said the incident should “shame every Pakistani” and that it “speaks to a rot in our society”.

The Pakistani senator Sherry Rehman said a recent implosion of violence against women suggested the problem was worsening in Pakistan. “Most cases are mostly either ignored, buried or brushed aside in the patriarchal culture of silencing the victim,” she said.

The prime minister, Imran Khan, has come under scrutiny for suggesting the rise in rape and assault cases was to be blamed on how women dressed and behaved. “If a woman is wearing very few clothes it will have an impact on the men unless they are robots,” said Khan in an interview in June. “If you raise temptation in society to a point – and all these young guys have nowhere to go – it has a consequence in the society.”

400 men see a woman being raped and think, let's join in.

There must be something wrong with that culture.

Oh, I know. The Pakis could not agree more.

The Taliban would give them short shrift..... in Iran it would be the crane.... in Iraq the building toss... in Saudi the head chop with sword... in Pakistan, just a normal day's outing.....

I remember very clearly you describing a woman who was rooted to death from internal bleeding just up for a bit of rough sex.

Is there something wrong with your culture? I certainly think there is.

If you can't be a good example, you have to be a horrible warning.

A woman in a park making a video gets sexually assaulted and 400+ blokes join in. Not help, join in.

That right there is a clear sign of rape culture.
