Nearly two years after Time captured her image for one of the magazine’s most memorable covers, CNN Digital will reunite users with Aesha, the woman whose story of abuse and disfigurement became an international symbol of oppression and crimes against women in war-torn Afghanistan. Through a powerful multimedia presentation available this weekend, CNN.com will present Aesha’s quest for surgery, stability and a sense of belonging after her tragic rise to fame.
