Mutilated Afghan girl poses for Time

“One of the most shocking images of all.” 

The gruesome image of a mutilated Afghan woman posing for the cover of the Aug. 9 edition of weekly magazine Time is providing a whole new perspective on Taliban brutality.

Aisha, 18, endured the agony of her ears and nose being barbarically hacked off by her own husband in a warped punishment for attempting to flee the abusive relationship.

Aisha was charged for shaming her in-laws, by a Taliban commander acting as a judge, and was sentenced to suffer such the inhumane act. 

Taliban law makes it a crime for women to run away from their in-laws and such punishment is legally enforced.
Despite the circumstances, Aisha escaped and is currently residing in a secret women’s shelter in Kabul.
