Translated from German
The woke-leftist BBC has aired a documentary in which Afghan fathers who sell their daughters are portrayed as victims who must make "difficult decisions."
The "value system" of the woke-leftists, which is heavily shaped by postcolonial ideology, becomes particularly visible here.
One should not judge by universal ("Eurocentric") standards such as individual human rights, child protection, or gender equality, but rather take contexts, power structures, and historical guilt (colonialism, imperialism, "the West") into account.
In the process, universal human rights are perceived as "Eurocentric" and relativized.
Cultural relativism leads to practices like child marriage not being condemned primarily as violations of universal norms, but instead being explained as consequences of poverty / the West / the Taliban / "the system."
The Afghan father is portrayed as pitiable, or respectively as a "victim." This reveals the low expectations toward non-Western cultures. In the end, this woke-leftist behavioral pattern amounts to racism.
It is also typical to avoid "othering." Direct criticism of Afghan-patriarchal or Islam-influenced norms (e.g., girls as commodities) is avoided, so as not to come across as "Islamophobic" or "colonial."

Flashback: An Afghan man buys a 10-year-old girl as his third wife — after murdering his first and second child brides for “bringing shame” upon his Muslim family by failing to obey and please their male owner.
As his third child bride, she endured years of torture, rape and unimaginable abuse until she finally escaped.
This horrifying story is featured in the documentary “I Was Worth 50 Sheep,” which follows the courageous young girl Sabere and her fight for survival in Afghanistan before the Taliban took over.
Life for women and girls was already brutal under Islamic norms. Since the Taliban takeover and the full enforcement of strict Sharia law, it has become infinitely worse:
• Girls are banned from schools and universities.
• Women are forced into full-body coverings and locked inside their homes.
• Child marriage, beatings and honor killings have exploded.
This is not “cultural differences.”
This is state-sanctioned Islamic oppression.
Yet the world remains largely silent.
Acknowledging this horror would mean admitting the truth about political Islam: it treats women and girls as property, not human beings.
The West keeps importing this ideology while pretending all cultures are equal.
They are not.
Share this truth.
The systematic abuse of girls under Islam must be exposed — not hidden behind political correctness.
