Bibi
Aisha, an 18-year-old woman from Oruzgan province in Afghanistan, fled
back to her family home from her husband's house, complaining of violent
treatment. The Taliban arrived one night, demanding Bibi be handed over
to face justice. After a Taliban commander pronounced his verdict,
Bibi's brother-in-law held her down and her husband sliced off her ears
and then cut off her nose. Bibi was abandoned, but later rescued by aid
workers and the U.S. military. After time in a women's refuge in Kabul,
she was taken to America, where she received counseling and
reconstructive surgery. Bibi Aisha now lives in the United States.
