Lynsey Addario, Unusual Graduates, Many girls in Afghanistan get no education at all. Even those who do enroll in a school typically study for just four years. So these members of Kabul University's class of 2010 are definitely in the minority, Kabul, Afghanistan © Lynsey Addario/VII Network

The Olivier Rebbot Award for “best photographic reporting from abroad in magazines or books” was given to Lynsey Addario for her National Geographic story “Veiled Rebellion: Afghan Women”. Her photographs give us a comprehensive and intimate look at a largely unseen aspect of Afghan society—its women. Her images are unvarnished, intimate and far-reaching. Addario worked hard to gain access and in doing so produced a very important body of work. It was very heartwarming to see Lynsey Addario accept her award given her recent capture (and release) in Libya.
