Las niñas clandestinas de Kabul

Synopsis of Las niñas clandestinas de Kabul

In 'The Underground Girls of Kabul', Jenny Nordberg presents a journalistic investigation into a hidden custom in Afghanistan. In a society where the birth of a son is celebrated and that of a daughter is often lamented, some girls are temporarily raised as boys, known as bacha posh. Nordberg explores the historical and religious roots of this tradition, recounting stories of women who lived as bacha posh and the reasons behind this practice in a deeply segregated society.
