The Plight of Afgahn Women—Includes a very graphic photo. (Updated)
The Plight of Afghan Women **WARNING: VERY GRAPHIC PHOTO INCLUDED**
I’m not going to say too much regarding the article and picture as I want it to speak for itself. I’ll wait before adding any of my own narrative or opinion on it.
Please be advised that the picture included in that article is very graphic and may be disturbing to any children who may be nearby when you look at it.
Edited to add:
I was hoping that perhaps people would want to discuss this. To express their opinion. I was going to wait and let people say what they wanted before interjecting my own thoughts or opinions.
I personally found the photo itself to be disturbing, regarding why and how the disfigurement was done. However, I think the young lady is still a beautiful person and very courageous. I don’t know if I could appear on a magazine cover if I knew that my life would be in danger. Yet, she did so, to put a face to the atrocities being committed by those who support Al-Queda and the Taliban.
I hope that when she gets here to have reconstructive surgery that the US will consider giving her refugee status if she wishes to stay. Her life is truly in danger, and I think the US needs to do what it can to protect her, particularly while she is on American soil.
