Afghan Girl
"Afghan Girl" is a famous photograph taken by Steve McCurry in 1984, featuring a young Afghan girl named Sharbat Gula. The image was captured in a refugee camp in Pakistan during the Soviet-Afghan War and became iconic for its striking portrayal of her piercing green eyes and the hardships faced by refugees.
The photograph was first published on the cover of National Geographic in June 1985, drawing global attention to the plight of Afghan refugees. In 2002, McCurry tracked down Gula in Afghanistan, revealing her story and the impact of decades of conflict on her life and community.
