Why do Afghan men prefer to cut off their wives' noses?
It is reported that Bibi Aisha, an 18-year-old Afghan woman, agreed to take photos to defend the rights of local women. Therefore, Richard Stengel, editor-in-chief of Time magazine, also carefully confirmed that the public picture would not endanger Aisha's safety before setting the photo as the cover. Stenger hopes to attract attention from all walks of life and accuse the Taliban of restricting and persecuting women.

The incident happened in 29. Aisha could not bear to be treated as a slave by her husband's family and was abused for a long time. She finally decided to run away from home, but was arrested by the police soon and sentenced to five months. However, her bad luck was not relieved after the expiration of her sentence. Afterwards, her husband accused the Taliban of "shaming the family" by fleeing from home. Therefore, Aisha was suppressed to the ground by her brother-in-law, and her husband personally executed her, cutting off her nose and ears, and finally abandoned her in the mountains, intending to let her die.

However, the local organization for Afghan Women (WAW) rescued her in time. Aisha remembered the situation and said, "They cut off my nose and ears, and I fainted." She also said in fear, "I opened my eyes but I couldn't see anything because there was blood all over my face." Such a tragic experience is distressing, but the report points out that women like Aisha are not uncommon in Afghanistan.

The report pointed out that the Taliban, an armed group, came to power in Afghanistan in 1996. At that time, they laid down heavy iron rules for women, strictly stipulating that women must wear masks, and they should not leave their homes without their brothers or husbands, let alone show their calves and other body parts, otherwise they would be whipped and even their nails painted with nail polish would be stripped, not to mention using cosmetics. However, after the overthrow of the Taliban regime in 21, the status of local women has finally gradually improved, and some women have been able to exercise their right to vote and participate in elections without wearing veils.

It is reported that the Afghan government is implementing the so-called reconciliation plan, and it is expected that the government and the Taliban will exchange many reconciliation conditions, so the issue of women's rights may be strongly suppressed. This makes Afghan women worry that they will be the biggest victims of this "peace deal". In this regard, Aisha also touched her disfigured face and said, "They have done such cruel things to me, how can they negotiate with them?" Afghan female parliamentarian Kufi even more strongly appealed to the international community, "We can't just pursue' peace' at the expense of women's rights."
