UNICEF best photos of 2007

category international | rights, freedoms and repression | other press author Tuesday December 18, 2007 00:03author by - Report this post to the editors

- Stephanie Clare's photo of 11 year old Ghulam a girl in Afghanistan sitting next to her 40 year old husband on their arranged wedding day ( as in the marriage was arranged against her wishes - not that they should really come into it anyway - your 11 year old wants to get married to anyone - you say no ) won the 2007 UNICEF photo award today at a ceremony in Berlin (Europe).

Many people will remember that one of the most admired & thought provoking photographs in the late 20th century was also of an Afghani girl Sharbat Gula who at 12 years of age was photographed by Steve Mc Curry and made th egfront cover of "National Geographic" to celebrate the end of the Taliban in 1995. It moved us all to take action. The americans went into to sort it out. The rest is the history of how the Taliban came back.

- Som readers might like to be reminded that Sharbat Gula was photo'ed 17 years later at 29 years of age holding that magazine cover. You can see that image here http://www.indymedia.ie/article/76034?&condense_comment...49184

We can only keep our fingers crossed that Ghulam & her husband will let us revisit them in the reality show which is western interest to photo them again in 17 years time.
