Bacheh-baazi (Persian: بچهبازی, meaning "being into kids" or "being interested in children" in Iranian dialect and "playing with kids" in Afghan dialect), also known as bacchá (from the Persian bacheh بچه "child, young man, kid") or bacha bi-reesh (beardless boy), is sexual slavery and child prostitution in which prepubescent and adolescent boys are sold to wealthy or powerful men for entertainment and sexual activities. This business thrives in Afghanistan, where many men keep them as status symbols.
