Pakistan's prime minister causes uproar by blaming a rise in rape cases on how women dress

Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan is facing backlash against recent comments he made that blamed how women dress for a rise in rape cases in the country.

"What is the concept of purdah?" Khan said during a live TV appearance Monday. "It is to stop temptation. Not every man has willpower. If you keep on increasing vulgarity, it will have consequences."

Purdah is a practice in some Muslim and Hindu cultures where women will seclude themselves or dress in concealing clothing so men or strangers can't see them.

Activists called out his remarks, saying the prime minister is blaming victims during a time when sexual violence is increasing Pakistan, The New York Times reported Thursday.

Even Khan's two ex-wives came out against his comments on Twitter on Wednesday.

"The onus is on men," tweeted Jemima Goldsmith, Khan's first wife.
