When they go outside, Mehrnoush is no longer a girl but a boy named Mehran. Azita Rafhat didn't have a son, and to fill the gap and avoid people's taunts for not having a son, she opted for this radical decision。

Elaha lives in Mazar-e Sharif in northern Afghanistan. She lived as a boy for 20 years because her family didn't have a son and reverted only two years ago when she had to go to university。

阿兹塔·瑞菲特是阿富汗一名前议员。她的3个女儿都身着白色长衫，头系白色头巾，但是她的小女儿梅尔诺什却穿西装打领带。

在阿富汗街上可以找到很多女扮男装的孩子。有些家庭将女孩装扮成男孩，是为了让她们找工作更容易些，来赚钱养家。
