In Afghanistan, the boy is forced to work

Despite being a girl, she is working on the role of son. And her parents are forced to do this.

His name is Satara Wafader. 18 year old girl. For more than a decade, Sitter's parents forced him to catch up with his son. Because they have no sons.

Sitarara five sisters. He is known as 'Bacha Poshi' for the dual role of daughter in the house and the boy outside. However, he can do all the work safely in the patriarchal country by adopting his son's disguise.

On Monday, the Indian media told NDTV that Sitara Wafader resides in a poor family of a village in the eastern part of Afghanistan, in Nagarhar province. He worked in a local brick field. Most of the time, Sita has passed the fake son. Every morning, eight eight-year-old son's shirts and trousers later go to work. Occasionally small trimmed brown hair covered the scarf. And to keep their identity confidential, many times manly voice.

In an interview given to AFP, Sitara said, "I can never think I'm a girl. My father always says that Sitara is like my eldest son. Occasionally I join some funeral of society like his eldest son. "Sitara also thinks that she will not be allowed to make her debut as a girl.

This dual character of Sitarara in conservative Afghanistan has a history of deep pain. The country has more boys than girls. Most of the time women are limited to the boundaries of their home. There are no male men in their household except father. In outer society, there are problems in the rank of girls, sexual harassment. But the boy can not touch these problems. In order to avoid the complications of girls and help the poor families financially, this is their crippled life war.

However, women who are considered to be second class citizens in the country can enjoy freedom like boys. Most of the 'children' pauses or children's adolescents stop wearing their son after puberty. Sitara said, "To protect myself in the brick, she used to wear son's clothes. When I go to work, most people can not understand, I am a girl.

Day-laborer Sitara Wafadar said, "If they understood that I was 18 years old, working from brickwork till morning till evening, I had to face many problems. Even I was a victim of abduction. '

When Sita was eight years old, she started working in brick field. Till the time of his big four sisters got married, he did the work of brick making bricks in the changing of school. And now on the way is Sittara. The youth of the young men made about 500 bricks daily from seven in the morning to five in the afternoon. He said, 'I am not ashamed of doing this work. But people talk about my age. They say, you have grown up and now it is not right to work in your brick.

Now Thakur said, "But what should I do, there is no alternative."

Sitar's father Nur said, 'Almighty Allah did not give me any sons. So, without him (Sitara), I have no alternative. '

Noor said to AFP, "If I had a boy, I would not have faced this kind of problem. My daughter's life would be peaceful and beautiful, "she said." All the responsibilities of family maintenance and debt are on my shoulder and shoulder. "

Sitara's mother Fatima expects her daughter to wear women's clothing. But it is necessary for Sita to take the necessary products and to take the mother to the doctor. Other things to do in the world are to do. Because Fatim's husband Nur has grown old.

For many years the boy has been involved in the disguise of his son. How much more So he feels very much the emptiness of a brother. If he had a brother, his hair could be tall, he could go to school. Sitara apologizes and said, 'If I had a brother!'
