'If a woman is wearing very few clothes it will have an impact on the man unless they are robots. It's common sense,' Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan said when asked about the epidemic of sexual violence and rape in Pakistan.

Activists in Pakistan demand an apology from prime minister Imran Khan after he linked the rise in rape cases on women wearing"very few clothes"

Former playboy cricketer Khan told television show Axios that how women dress affects men's behaviour, outraging activists in the deeply conservative Islamic country. He did not elaborate on what he meant by "few clothes", in a country where the vast majority of women wear conservative national dress.

"This is dangerously simplistic and only reinforces the common public perception that women are 'knowing' victims and men 'helpless' aggressors," they said.
