Planned activity:Presently acid attack is a well-known phenomenon; not only developing or underdeveloped countries even the developed countries are also experiencing that heinous crime. According to Acid Survivors Trust International (ASTI) each year around 1500 acid violence cases gets recorded worldwide & UK has one of the highest rates of acid attacks per capita. In India 50% of acid attack victims belong to Northern Zone of India & remaining 50% in rest of the country. No such extensive research has been conducted so far which can clearly identify the reason behind that particular trend that triggers this heinous form of crime so differently in different zones of India. On the contrary 21st Century observing a pretty disturbing trend of extensive rise in acid attack cases in developed nations as well & it alone shows not only living being; if given the right environment then some type of crime also can migrate from developing world to developed world. On the contrary, the treatment process for survivors is a lifelong expensive process & many Indian survivors avoid their medication because they just can't afford the expenses. Therefore the purpose of that 6 months long project would be as follows:

  • Extensive research on acid attack cases perpetrated both in UK & India in last five years;
  • The particular socio-economical ecosystem that nurture acid violence in both developed and developing nations;
  • Identifying all those measures that can curb (or better extinct) that heinous form of crime from the face of the earth;
  • Preparing a data of those Indian places where acid burn patients gets quality treatment for free or at pretty subsidized rates;
  • Preparing a data of psychiatrists and psychologists who are specialist in providing support to these survivors;
  • Providing 100's of case history with photos of acid attack survivors with their personal contact details to enable readers to support these survivors directly without any kind of intervention from any third party;
  • Preparing a data of those non-profit organizations which provides support to survivors.
  • Publishing a book with all these information and uploading the book on Kindle and other e-book sites, where anybody can download the e-copy of book for free of cost.

THE BATTLE OF SURVIVORS PROVES THEY ARE 'SCARRED BUT WINNERS'.
