Shy of having a flat nose

You shouldn't be...
"When they cut off my nose and ears, I passed out. In the middle of the night it felt like there was cold water in my nose.
I opened my eyes and I couldn't even see because of all the blood" - Bibi Aisha
Bibi Aisha, an 18-year-old woman from Oruzgan province in Afghanistan, who fled back to her family home from her husband’s house, complaining of violent treatment. The Taliban arrived one night, demanding Bibi be handed over to face justice.
After a Taliban commander pronounced his verdict, Bibi’s brother-in-law held her down and her husband sliced off her ears and then cut off her nose. Bibi was abandoned, but later rescued by aid workers and the American military. After time in a women’s refuge in Kabul, she was taken to America, where she received counseling and reconstructive surgery. Bibi Aisha now lives in the US.
