One of the primary challenges faced by acid attack survivors is isolation. After being attacked and disfigured, many survivors do not leave their home for fear of ridicule. Many survivors are viewed as deserving of the attack. Many others are disabled and can no longer move about independently.
To successfully campaign against acid violence, there must be wider public recognition of how frequently it occurs and how devastating the consequences are. One simple way of contributing to our cause is to like and share our posts on social media.
