Sharbat Gula, an icon of the horrors of the war in Afghanistan, a young orphan girl whose picture went around all the world and generated millions of dollars for Magnum agency.. and did not receive any penny of this money. She is 36 years old, was married at 14 as required by the custom, has had four children (one of them died) and currently lives in complete misery, locked at house. She would like her daughters to study (she can't) but has no means for that. So an idea.
Petition. "We hardly call upon "Magnum agency" to repay to Sharbat Gula, she is entitled to require as image right a percentage of royalties generated by her photo, even if of course it was not for the agency the initial purpose in order to complete his remarkable work of denunciation of the drama of Afghanistan conflict; she has the greatest need of that, a fair, just and elegant gesture who would be praised by all the world who see the pathetic eyes of the child just orphan." Signatures. (Link)
