Afghan Boys Are Prized, So Girls Live the Part
Zahra, 15, has been dressing and acting like a boy since she was a child. If it were up to her, she would never go back. “Nothing in me feels like a girl,” she said.
From the NYtimes article about families in Afghanistan facing social pressure to dress their girls as boys in a society where boys are more highly regarded. The article gets more interesting when we find out that some girls, after living like boys, don’t want to go back.
