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.

God bless you…i know exactly what you are saying. I have family from rural areas as well and know many cases. there are many idiots on this forum who know nothing about rural problems in pakistan, never lived there for one single day and will start screaming from top of their lungs hey how dare you maligning pakistan and that every region has this problem blah blah but people like you who know the ground realities know the extent of this lanat in our rural areas, even in small towns, qasbas and cities it is so widespread. it is a taboo and no one wants to talk about it. it is accepted as it is. appreciate your hard work to expose this bigotry in your rural areas.
