People have heard in the media that there is child trafficking all over the world, and in Afghanistan there is no difference. In Afghanistan, there is a growing practice called bacha bazi, which involves exploiting young boys. This is a practice that has been banned for a long time, but which is gradually reappearing in Afghanistan. Many think this practice is casual. However, many people think this is false. Many attempts have been made to end this practice, but to no avail. Practitioners must realize that this practice is wrong and that it must be taken care of. Bacha bazi translates to “boy’s game”. It is an ancient practice brought back by “powerful warlords, former military commanders and wealthy businessmen” (“Introduction”) after being banned during the Taliban era. However, it is slowly reviving in the northern regions and Kabul. A journalist named Quraishi claims that it is a “culture in which wealthy Afghan men openly exploit some of the poorest and most vulnerable members of their society” (“Introduction”). These rich men will exploit the boys and use them for dancing and sexual activities. These men strip boys of their masculine identity by forcing them to disguise themselves as women; wearing women's clothing, fake breasts and ankle bells. After dressing the boys to their liking, they would take them to a party and make them dance for hours. Additionally, some men take boys to hotels to sexually abuse them (Qobil). The ages of these boys range from 11 to 19 years old. Most boys are deported at the age of 18, or 19, like Jawad, 18, who is about to be released. Its owner, Assadula, explains that once "he starts growing a beard, his mandate will expire and I will... middle of paper... the authorities, and no justice can be done to help the boys. Bacha boys live their lives for the entertainment of these men to help them provide for themselves and their families. Others learn to live like a bacha boy and create a relationship with these men. Some will continue to do it reluctantly for the money, while others will continue to embrace it and cooperate willingly. This affects not only boys, but also women. Because men are not allowed to be seen with women, they must turn to young boys to release their desires. Today, women are seen as figures destined for procreation and work. People need to speak out against these abuses and help raise awareness that this is a growing problem and needs to be addressed immediately, knowing that if nothing is done, bacha bazi will continue. to grow and create a bigger problem later..
