Cover up or risk an acid attack.

"Acid attack on Pakistani sisters in Balochistan" reports how three sisters in Pakistan became victims of an acid attack.

Many countries around the world have been trying to advocate gender equality. However, for some countries like Pakistan, culture overrules law. Besides reporting an incident, this news also highlights the abuse of women in more conservative countries where religion and cultural extremism are apparent.

By highlighting this situation, readers (especially those from more liberal countries) will be educated and made aware of the need to advocate against, and address the issue of gender inequality.
