Por qué el problema de Bacha Bazi merece atención internacional. Talibanes Artículo de revista Núm. 2 , Año 2019 :Julio - Diciembre 2 13 Esclavitud Prostitución Menores Novum Jus Guerra Homosexualidad Explotación sexual Verma, Sreyasi Recientemente, la explotación sexual de menores se ha convertido en un tema caliente para varias naciones en todo el mundo. Entre estas, Afganistán, país en el sur asiático, ve un número alarmantemente alto de casos de explotación sexual, entre los cuales la práctica llamada Bacha Bazi ha atraído la atención y las críticas generalizadas de todos los sectores. En esta práctica, niños y adolescentes son obligados a vestirse con ropa y maquillaje femeninos, de manera sexualizada, y, posteriormente, en muchos casos, son forzados al comercio de la carne humana. La prostitución y esclavitud de estos jóvenes se ha vuelto rampante. Este artículo examina los motivos de la explotación sexual de menores en general y el resurgimiento de la práctica de Bacha Bazi en Afganistán en particular. Analiza el papel de los talibanes en la abolición de Bacha Bazi, así como la situación anárquica posterior a los talibanes, la cual se convirtió en una de las principales razones para el florecimiento de esta práctica reprochable. El estudio también analiza qué papel desempeña el tabú de la homosexualidad en el Afganistán conservador en el florecimiento de Bacha Bazi. Finalmente, discute la falta de voluntad de la comunidad internacional para luchar contra la práctica de Bacha Bazi, y ofrece algunas sugerencias para la eliminación de la práctica. Sin embargo, como han señalado importantes estudios de derechos humanos, esta práctica es muy difícil de abolir, incluso cuando amenaza con desafiar los fundamentos básicos de los derechos humanos y la civilización en el siglo XXI.

Our neighbouring South Asian country Afghanistan sees a disturbingly high incidence of sexual exploitation cases, of which the practice titled Bacha Bazi has drawn widespread attention and criticism from all quarters. In this practice of Bacha Bazi, young boys are made to dress up in feminine clothes and make up, sexualized and subsequently, in a lot of cases, forced into the flesh trade. Prostitution and slavery of these young boys has become rampant. In this paper, the reasons for sexual exploitation of minors have been traced upon generally, and the resurgence of the practice of Bacha Bazi in Afghanistan in particular. Taliban?s role in abolishing Bacha Bazi has been detailed, as has lawlessness post-Taliban rule been described, which became a major reason for the blooming of this depraved practice. The role of the taboo of homosexuality in conservative Afghanistan in the flourishing of Bacha Bazi has been discussed. Finally, the lack of willingness of the international community to fight against Bacha Bazi has been touched upon, and suggestions for the elimination of this depraved practice have been provided.  However, it has been admitted by noted human rights scholars that such a practice is very difficult to abolish in practical life, even as it threatens to challenge the very basic foundation of human rights and civilization in the 21st century.
