In Pakistan, rape is dealt with under Islamic laws known as the Hudood Ordinances. These criminalise all sex outside marriage.
So, under Hudood, if a rape victim fails to present four male witnesses to the crime, she herself could face punishment.
This has made it almost impossible to prosecute rape cases.
According to the country's independent Human Rights Commission, a woman is raped every two hours and gang-raped every eight hours in Pakistan.
These figures are probably an under-estimation as many rapes are not reported.
Emphasis added.
Typically, these apparent contradictions are addressed by saying "don't confuse Islam with a particular policy of a government" or some such. That assumes the problem is separable, and usually it isn't.
IMO, if one doesn't have a consensus definition of words like "equality" then there's little hope of meaningful cross-cultural conversations on whether Islam or Protestantism or whatever treat their people better.
My $0.02.
