Alarmed and intrigued, I read the description of the page, One lazy evening, whilst browsing on Facebook, I came across a page called ‘Beautiful Teen Boys of Pakistan’. While female writers – including myself – are more sensitive towards issues of their own gender and tend to write more about the sufferings of women at the hands of men, I recently came across something which shook my entire being. Since our childhood, we have heard a countless number of disturbing stories – stories about little girls beaten to death by angry employers the youngest daughter of a poor farmer being ‘taken’ by a cruel landlord only because her father failed to pay his debts a young boy molested by his teacher in primary school girls traded for money, women raped by beasts in the guise of aamils. There are many evils on this earth and our country has its fair share.
