Videos shared widely show prepubescent boys in Afghanistan dressed femininely and dancing seductively, matching descriptions of Bacha Bazi—a centuries-old practice of sexual exploitation by wealthy patrons that persists despite Taliban bans. A 2020 Lebanese TV clip features guest Ahmad justifying wife-beating, slaps, rape, and even setting a wife ablaze, shocking female hosts during the debate. Though one user claimed a boy-dancing video depicted an exorcism ritual, the imagery aligns with documented Bacha Bazi cases reported by the U.S. State Department and outlets like BBC. Human rights reports confirm ongoing child exploitation and Taliban restrictions on women amid poverty and weak enforcement.
