Batcheh-baazi is not restricted to the Pashtuns of Afghanistan. Tajik Afghans (i.e. Persian/Dari speakers) also participate in that backward practice*, where young boys are dressed as females and dance for the pleasure of the older men.

The Badakhshan province of Afghanistan (borders Tajikistan) is renowned for its' "beautiful boys".

* That being said, Afghan Pashtuns specifically have picked up the reputation for sexual deviance. Though Fox News is a biased source, I have read through the study in question previously and can vouch for the Fox article's accuracy in this instance.
