Pakistan Burned Beauticians

Saira Liaqat, 26, poses for a photograph at her home in Lahore, Pakistan, Wednesday, July 9, 2008. When she was 15, Saira was married to her relative who would later attack her after insistently demanding her to live with him, although the families had agreed she wouldn't join him until she finished school. Saira has undergone plastic surgery 9 times to try to recover from her scars with the help of Depilex-Smileagain Foundation in Lahore, an organization that helps burn victims to reintegrate into society through medical and psychological support. Saira is one of the 240 registered victims of Smileagain's help list in Pakistan and is employed as a beautician at a Depilex beauty center. (AP Photo/Emilio Morenatti)
