Aesha Mohammadzai: le visage mutilé de l'oppression des Talibans reprend forme



L'Afghanistan serait le pays le plus dangereux pour les femmes. Mutilée par son mari et sa belle-famille, Aesha a du subir plusieurs interventions chirurgicales.

 "Since August 2010, when her image appeared on the cover of Time magazine, she's been known for what she didn't have. Her Taliban husband and in-laws hacked off her nose and ears as punishment for running away.

 Her disfigured face became a symbol for oppressed women in Afghanistan, a reminder of what might come in spades if the Taliban regains control.

 Today, she is only minor surgeries away from having the new nose she's longed for. The grueling procedures -- involving a painful skin expander in her forehead, as well as skin, bone and cartilage grafts -- are behind her. Come this summer, for the first time in years, she will appear whole.

 But rebuilding a nose and rebuilding a life are two very different propositions. The first involves her being at the mercy of others; the second demands that Aesha, 22, do the work.
