Aesha Mohammadzai has a new face and life
Aesha Mohammadzai became famous
across the world after her picture appeared on the cover of Time
magazine.
The 19-year-old girl became a symbol of the oppression of
women in Afghanistan after fleeing the war-torn country. Three years later and she has a new face and life.
Aesha’s story was first told in August
2010 by Time magazine, who published a harrowing cover photo of her -
horrifying people around the world and symbolising the oppression of
Afghan women.
When she was
12, her father promised her in marriage to a Taliban fighter to pay a
debt.
She was handed over to his family who abused her and forced her to
sleep in the stable with the animals.
