Las niñas clandestinas de Kabul
Synopsis
In a society where women are severely restricted, some Afghan families without sons raise a daughter as a boy, a practice known as bacha posh. This groundbreaking work of investigative journalism uncovers the hidden lives of these girls, exploring their unique freedoms and the profound challenges they face when they must eventually revert to womanhood. It offers a rare glimpse into the complex realities of gender, identity, and survival in contemporary Afghanistan.
