The audacious assault of an American woman in Pakistan is disrupting a narrative created by Western influencers that the country is safe for women.
Arabela Arpi, a 21-year-old American-German student at Duke University, North Carolina, describes her first visit to Pakistan as a romantic encounter: anticipation, exploration, and, finally, love.
She was also aware of Pakistan’s image in popular culture
, with news of security concerns, and being listed among the world's most unsafe countries.
On July 17, while visiting the city of Dera Ghazi Khan in Pakistan’s Punjab province, Arpi said she was threatened, extorted and then “brutally” gang raped by two men she had befriended during her previous travels
, one of whom filmed the act and threatened to leak it.
I would have lived in peace. But my enemies brought me war.
