When Aesha was 12, her father promised her in marriage to a Taliban fighter to pay a debt. She was handed over to his family who abused her and forced her to sleep in the stable with the animals.
The UN estimates that nearly 90 per
cent of Afghanistan's women suffer from some sort of domestic abuse.
When she attempted to flee, she was
caught and her nose and ears were hacked off by her husband as punishment.
'When they cut off my nose and ears, I
passed out. In the middle of the night it felt like there was cold water in my
nose.
'I opened my eyes and I couldn't even see because of all the blood,' she told CNN reporter Atia Abawi.
Aisha now in U.S, has a prosthetic nose fitted using a
special adhesive. She will eventually have reconstructive surgery
