An acid attack occurs when someone deliberately throws a corrosive substance, such as sulfuric acid or hydrochloric acid, at another person. The result is often severe burns, permanent scarring, blindness, and in some cases, death.
Victims suffer serious physical injuries, including disfigurement and permanent disabilities.
The emotional toll can be devastating, leading to depression, social isolation, and loss of self-esteem.
Survivors of acid attacks often struggle to access adequate medical care and legal protection.
