Since 1967 in Bangladesh , acid has been used as a weapon. It is usually thrown at the victims face or on the body. It is mainly used against women, often when they refuse the sexual advances of men, or an offer of marriage. Many women suffer from acid violence in Bangladesh . Last 5 years, 966 women were the victims of acid attacks.
This philanthropic project has been jointly organized by Drishtipat New York and SHBA to help the victims and making social awareness against the acid violence.
