Another day. Another acid attack.
This time, the victim is a doctor.
While headlines move on, survivors of acid violence are often left to live with lifelong physical, emotional, and financial scars.
Acid attacks are not “crimes of passion” or “personal disputes.” They are acts of violence intended to permanently harm, intimidate, and destroy lives.
If you ever witness an acid attack, immediate first aid can make a critical difference:
‼️‼️‼️
• Move the victim away from the source of the acid.
• Remove contaminated clothing and jewellery carefully.
• Continuously flush the affected area with large amounts of clean, cool running water for at least 20 minutes (longer if possible).
• Do NOT apply creams, oils, toothpaste, ice, or home remedies.
• Seek emergency medical help immediately.
• If the eyes are affected, keep rinsing with clean water while arranging urgent medical care.
No one should have to live in fear of such brutality.
We need stronger prevention, swift justice, survivor support, and a collective refusal to normalise violence against women and vulnerable members of our communities.
