Unlike other disabilities, what acid attack victims suffer from is an outcome of crime. It just seems too unjust that they need to still fight for treatment, justice, for inclusion, to be valued for their skills and competencies.
In India, acid attacks are at an all-time high and increasing every year, with 250–300 reported incidents every year, while the “actual number could exceed 1,000, according to Acid Survivors’ Trust International”
Acid attacks often lead to disfigurement, physical and locomotive disabilities.
In this conversation, we have with us Shaheen Mallik, who is an acid attack survivor but she has not let that define her and everything she stands for.
Join us to hear from her about her story, her journey of grit, determination and finding her path.
