Mutilated Afghan girl’s face rebuilt in California
The young Afghan girl featured on a controversial Time magazine cover in the US has been given a new prosthetic nose. Aisha told Time her nose and ears had been cut off – with the approval of a Taliban commander – by her abusive husband as punishment for running away.
The front cover generated debate over the headline “What Happens if We Leave Afghanistan” and over the use of the photo itself. Her surgery was done in California
The Grossman Burn Foundation, which carried out the work, campaigns on the issue of violence against women, as well as doing free plastic surgery work.
Foundation surgeon Peter Grossman carried out the reconstruction surgery. Aisha was widely photographed and filmed earlier this week receiving the Enduring Heart award at a benefit ceremony staged by the foundation. She was given the award by California first lady Maria Shriver, the wife of California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger.
