Actually Afghani government in 2017 gave her 3,000 sf house and $700 a month stipend plus medical care. National Geographic established scholarship for Afghani Girls (initially), which later was expanded to Afghani Children. Her husband died in 2012.

Nat Geo should give her a million or two. They made millions off this woman.

[@jimmyjazz2885]

Ummm, they still barter in many countries- Afghanistan being one of them. They see no use for "a mil or two". That, like your "women=livestock" argument, could be used as a generalization that a person should receive money to "fix" things. Would she be smiling, her parents are still dead, she doesn't get her picture taken at the local store for a "glam shot." Which is the "broken culture"????? 6 cars in the driveway or raising your children and wanting them to get the education she missed out on. She is a powerful symbol- and SHE, not her husband is pushing for education knowing it will help her kids. Meanwhile somewhere in the US, a 16 year old rich kid with that mil or two is snorting lines on his BMW....

[@jimmyjazz2885]

For a good peek into mixed cultures and what is valued, cultural ideals, just look at the guy who responded to you and his profile- "top 5 hottest pornstars", and an interview (I did not care to watch) called "why women like bad guys". Talk about women being livestock. This is too strange. Whatever culture you are in. Just be the best you that you can, and be nice :)

[@kumada84]

Jimmy Jazz "Ummm, they still barter in many countries- Afghanistan being one of them. They see no use for "a mil or two"." of course, in this video her husband is shown working as a baker and he specifically talks about earning money to send to his family to buy food.....

kumada84 Everyone needs and uses money today.

[@bartkaian9031]

This whole conversation is too childish. National Geographic did a good thing in making this video; everyone obviously enjoyed watching all 4 parts of it if you are reading and commenting on this page. Sharbat Ghula's message in this film was not to ask national geographic for a "slice of the pie". They went through quite a bit of an effort to find her and, whether they personally gave her material resources or not in exchange for participating (maybe they did, who knows?), they did something powerful for her by giving a voice to this person whose face became a powerful symbol in the West. This has the potential to be more powerful than compensating one person, by inspiring others to care and become involved. So, instead of fighting over what national geographic should give or not, if you feel so passionately about their story, you could listen to her voice and the voices of those like her... and give your best effort to serve them yourselves. I am not arguing on behalf of NG, or saying they are always paragons of virtue, I am just saying that this argument is besides the point and a waste of energy that could be better spent helping someone.

There is a story that her eyes tell, but only God knows what. Woman of that culture do not readily smile, and grin in front of a camera with a man outside of her family taking it, so do not assume she is sooo sad. We know she has had a very sad life from her story, but I think she is happy with her husband, and children. There is a Western thought, that men of the Islamic countries are horrible to their women. Not true. I come from a family of that origin, and my father treated my mother with love, and understanding. I cried after seeing this documentary. God wanted her to be at a special place,and at a certain time, so that picture could be taken. May God bless the photographer from NatGeo for finding her, and caring enough to tell her story, and for Sharbat Gula to share it with the world. May we pray for world peace.

[@jasonkhan854]

Vlad Kostrinka You are a liar! My family is from that part of the world too and my father treated my mother like shit and my brother and I like property! Don't tell people lies! Men from Afghanistan and Pakistan are cruel to women and children who don't have the same rights and privileges as men do in that part of the world. Thank God my parents divorced and my brother and I can all live in peace. Islamic sharia law is evil! You are a evil person if you think that women should be treated like property and beaten if a man feels like hitting his wife and children. May Jesus Christ have mercy on your soul, because if you do not accept Jesus Christ as your personal savior and God you will burn in hell for eternity! Islam and it's followers are children of Satan!

We thank Steve McCurry for taking this wonderful picture. We also thank Sharbat and her husband for cooperation with Steve. We are sad that the people of Afghanistan and Pakistan are still in extreme misery. The people of Pakistan and Afghanistan should and must start working hard to change their luck. If there is a positive change in these countries all Sharbats of the countries will be happy people. For happiness it is absolutely mandatory to work hard and it is absolutely necessary to make the country corruption-free.
