New technologies have allowed to share information to all parts of the world in seconds. Because of that, a picture from 1984 can become iconic, and be even now recognized by most people. This allows everyone to know the injustices that occur around the world and raise awareness of the problems that some people are condemned to face every day.
As it is said: “a picture is worth a thousand words”. A simple act like taking a picture of an Afghan girl has empowered and humanized a conflict that maybe without this iconic portrait wouldn’t have had that much coverage. This girl has probably it helped many people in the same situation as her without being aware.
