Study on the Rehabilitation of Acid Attack VictimsAcid attacks have seen an alarming growth in India over the last decade. Acid attacks are a form of violence against women, where the perpetrator splashes a person or object with acid in order to deface or kill them. In most cases, acid attacks permanently disfigure, debilitate and, eventually, destroy the victim, both physically and psychologically. While many attacks have resulted in slow and painful deaths, in others young women getting disfigured, maimed and confined to homes for life. They continue to battle medical complications as acid trickles into the body and damages internal organs over an extended period of time. The endeavor is to provide solutions for a better life for the victims as not much has been addressed when it comes to the rehabilitation of the victims
