Bacha Posh is a cultural practice in some parts of Afghanistan where families with daughters dress one of their girls as a boy. This is often done to fulfill societal expectations, as boys are traditionally valued more in these communities. The girl, known as a Bacha Posh, may take on male roles, such as attending school or running errands, which can provide her with more freedom and opportunities. When the girl reaches puberty, she typically returns to her female identity. This practice highlights the gender inequalities present in Afghan society and raises questions about identity and gender roles. The Bacha Posh experience can be both liberating and challenging, as it complicates the understanding of gender in a conservative context.
