VOICED : Hopeless Afghan struggle to save boy sex slaves

The transcript discusses the harrowing story of Shireen's brother-in-law, who was kidnapped and forced into sexual slavery by a police commander. This is part of a wider practice known as bacha bazi, prevalent in southern Helmand province, where boys are taken and abused. Families live in fear, worried about the impact on their children, including drug habits and a culture of abuse. Despite international calls to end this practice, Afghan authorities deny its existence. Shireen and others hope for intervention to rescue the boys and bring the perpetrators to justice.
