It shows Mohammed, 40, with his new 11-year-old wife, Ghulam. Taken by US photographer Stephanie Sinclair, it was named Unicef Photo of the Year yesterday.
Some 60million girls worldwide are married while still under age, according to the children's rights agency.
A picture of a boy lifting bricks on his head in Bangladesh, showing the life of one of the millions exploited as child labour, came second. It was taken by GMB Akash.
And third prize went to one taken by German photographer Hartmut Schwarzbach. It shows nine-year-old Annalyn celebrating her birthday by jumping on a sofa in the rubbish dump in Manila, Philippines, where she has lived for three years.

Didn’t the so-called prophet marry an 11 year old too?

I understand this was common around the world ... over a thousand years ago!

Doesn’t every 11 year old girl dream of marrying a 40 year old bearded freak?

Mohammed, 40, with his new 11-year-old wife... Pervert Mohammed, like all the male muslim perverts need to be permanently locked up in a pig pen.

Aesha was only eight or nine years old when Muhammad took her to his bed. According to Hadith, she was still playing with her dolls. This facet of Muhammad’s sexual appetite is particularly distressing to Westerners.

Legalized child molestation. That’s all it is.
