The New York based Human Rights Watch (HRW) has said that the Pakistan President Pervez Musharraf was so interested in consolidating power that he had virtually ignored the plight of women in Pakistan. Citing several cases, HRW said rape in Pakistan is institutionalized and protected by Hudood ordinances that protect the rapist and make it impossible for the victim to prove her case. Women are also killed under so-called "honor killings" where family members can kill their kin with impunity if they violated customs or married outside their community. Musharraf had publicly fought allegations of institutionalized rape in Pakistan saying that getting rape means getting a foreign visa, attention, and money. He has not apologized for his statement, in spite of widespread internal and external criticisms. HRW accuse Musharraf of a "dismissive attitude regarding violence against women." HRW criticized Bangladesh army for gross violations of human rights including extra-judicial killings, use of excessive force, and custodial torture. It praised India for its constructive role in Nepal but wanted more transparency in proceeding against security personnel accused of human rights violations.
