In the News (Wed 15 Feb 12)

  
  Sharbat Gula - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The editors of National Geographic say Sharbat's image became one of the most famous in its 114-year history, yet she had never seen the photograph which brought her miserable plight to Western eyes.
Sharbat stated she hopes that her girls will get the education she was never able to complete.
Modern pictures of her were featured as part of a cover story on her life in the April 2002 issue of National Geographic and was the subject of a television documentary which aired in March 2002.

 Layne Redmond--Sharbat Gula Has Been Found   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
Sharbat Gula was aged about 12 when an American photographer took her portrait in December 1984, an image that was to become a 20th-century icon after it made the June 1985 cover of National Geographic magazine.
Sharbat, a devout Muslim, said she regarded the burqa – much maligned in the West – as a beautiful part of her life, and said the Taliban had brought a sense of peace and security after the lawlessness that has plagued her country for years.
A scientific analysis of Sharbat's irises – the coloured parts of the eye which are as unique as fingerprints – confirmed she was 99.9 per cent likely to be the girl in the photograph.

He mounted a concerted effort in January when the refugee camp in Pakistan where she was originally photographed, and where leads on her whereabouts might still exist, was slated to be razed.
