Afar kid Ethiopia - Lafforgue

Afar kid with the hand of his proud father, danakil desert, Ethiopia. The boys are really well treated, as girls have to work all day under the hottest sun on earth!

Is this a boy? I'd thought it was a girl. It's so unfair to hear that girls toil under the sun while boys enjoy. Shouldn't it be the other way round?
Posted 41 months ago. ( permalink )

Eric Lafforgue says:

well...i think he's a boy! In my memory, it's a boy! I'm afraid you won't change the traditions of Afars! They still practice on girls clitoris ablation and so on...As they live far from modernism, they do not understand our judgement...
