June 29, 2010: Koba's Girls
This is Koba, and her class of Afghan girls.
Why is this picture notable?
Quote:
In Afghanistan from 2006 to 2008, there were 461 attacks on schools for girls, and in 2008, 15 girls were attacked with battery acid on their way to school.

Koba, 22, has been teaching for two years. She was the only teacher who allowed the photographer to take her picture. (Other teachers feared reprisal if their families found out they'd been photographed.)

That's why this picture is notable.
