With her gravely damaged nose, she was the cover of Time magazine in the US which shocked the world and generated public debate. Critic argued that the photo was used as emotional blackmail to justify US continued involvement in Afghanistan. In a benefit ceremony arranged by the foundation, Aisha was awarded the “Enduring Heart” award, the first ever given to a woman.
