That is unfortunately true. Especially in rural Pakistan, young boys are often sexually exploited, either by adult males or older boys. Such exploitation is often met with a shrug “boys will be boys”, when this isn’t a case of boys being boys but rather 5, 6, 7 year old boys being sexually exploited by boys who are up to ten years older than them.

I’m trying to raise awareness on this, in the rural area where I have my origins, but its not easy. More than once it has come to physical altercation. My cousin was sadly subjected to such abuse, in his childhood, and it ruined his life. So its one of those issues which I can not stay quiet on.

Hats off to you brother.

Just out of curiosity, How are you trying to raise awareness on this issue in rural areas?

Sach - I do understand your point of population density in urban areas but overall I agree with PD that it is more common in rural areas than in Urban areas. Not saying that educated folks do not indulge in this but Maybe education is a factor too. In my observation people from rural areas have more experiences with
1 – having sex with farm animals (which can be a stepping stone towards #2](http://www.paklinks.com/gs/usertag.php?do=list&action=hash&hash=2) and #3](http://www.paklinks.com/gs/usertag.php?do=list&action=hash&hash=3) )
2 – child molestation,
3 – prostitution ( a lot of time when Ex-Pats come back to Pak from abroad they come back with some money and want to ‘live their sexual fantasies via prostitutes’ )
