THE disfigured Afghan teenager whose photo was featured on a Time magazine cover has arrived in California, where a foundation has arranged for reconstructive surgery.
The Grossman Burn Foundation in Los Angeles said on Friday that 18-year-old Bibi Aisha arrived on Thursday and is staying with a host family.
Ms Aisha says her nose was cut off as punishment for running away from her violent husband
Activists and human rights workers say they are glad that Ms Aisha is getting treatment but thousands of other women are victims of domestic violence in Afghanistan
