The truth:-
This Afghani child is 8 years old and suffering from Thalassemia.
Here's a screenshot from the extremist page, with a sensationalist headline that followers of paedophile apologist Stephen Yaxley-Lennon will be only too happy to share.

Child in photo taken in Afghanistan thalassemia patient not pregnant
In the photo that was shared on social media and sent to notification.org as a report, she was claimed to be pregnant after rape. On 7 February 2019, the image was shared by approximately 7 thousand people from a page named "Questioning Human" Facebook and 785 people "liked" the image.
However, it is not true that the child in the photograph is pregnant. Roya Jan, the daughter of Afghanistan, is 8 years old. A child with thalassemia had swelling in her abdomen due to growth in her spleen. The photo was taken by Roya's doctor in Afghanistan, Merwais Azizyar, on January 9, 2019 at Abu Ali Sina Hospital in Mazar e Sharif.
According to Teyit.org's phone conversation with Roya Jan's doctor, Merwais Azizyar, Roya is 8-year-old and for about 5 years, in 2-month intervals, the hospital is going to take the blood to Abu Ali Sina Hospital. Merwais Azizyar said that Roya was suffering from thalassemia and that this diagnosis was made five years ago. Thalassemia, also known as Mediterranean anemia, is an inherited blood disease. Symptoms of the disease include liver and spleen growth. More detailed information about thalassemia can be found on the Turkish Hematology Society 's website. Roya's liver weight has passed 5 kilograms has passed and growth in the spleen, he said.
Campaign launched for the treatment of Roya Jan
Roya Jan's liver and spleen should be operated on but is a risky surgery. Dr Azizyar said they could not find someone who agreed to do this surgery. The family does not have the money to fund Roya's treatment in another country so a charity campaign was launched for Roya.
Doctor Azizyar said that about $2,000 was donated to the campaign and he was able to send Roya to Iran for treatment. In Iran Masshad Roya's liver was operated in Sheikh Hospital, a portion of the whole spleen was removed. Roya and her family are still in Iran. It is also possible to see the photo of the family in the hospital in Iran before the operation.
Roya Jan's surgery was successful
Sharing the photo taken by Roya Jan after his operation in Iran, Dr Merwais said that Roya is in good health.
Similar claims have already spread
A similar claim can be seen in the analysis published on December 24, 2018, confirmed.org . A 9-year-old girl in Afghanistan is said to be pregnant, but the girl is not pregnant, marasmus patient. Earlier it was also reported that a 11-year-old girl living in Bolu was pregnant. An analysis published on 9 January 2019 indicated that the child had liver disease.
As a result, it is not true that the child in the photograph was raped and pregnant. Roya Jan, who lives in Afghanistan, is 8 years old. A child with thalassemia has a swelling of the abdomen because of growth in the spleen and liver. The alleged photo was taken at the Abu Ali Sina Hospital, on January 9, 2019, by the child's doctor Merwais Azizyar.
