Friday Drive – Interview with Ludmilla Khodai

This afternoon Friday Drive will be airing an interview with social researcher Ludmilla Khodai talking about the Afghani cultural practice of Bacha Posh.

Ludmilla is a researcher who spent some time in Afghanistan learning all about Bacha Posh and speaking to families who chose to live with this cultural practice.

Bacha Posh is carried out in some parts of Afghanistan and Pakistan, in which families without sons will choose a daughter to live and behave as a boy.

This is a litte preview of the interview to give Friday Drive listeners something to look forward to.

Tune in at 4pm to learn all about Ludmilla Khodai and her time in Afghanistan studying Bacha Posh.
