ENTRY DESCRIPTION
Sometime after a painful acid attack which had burned and disfigured part of face, torso, chest, arms and a part of her left leg, 25 year old H. Sr. clings onto the love of her three year daughter who represents her only hope and the only person she has left in her life, since her parents died when she was very young and she has no siblings.
Acid attacks, which still take place in many countries in the world, remain one of the cruelest assaults a human being can inflict upon another and are aimed to disfigure, maim, torture or kill the victims. The consequences can range from a permanent psychological and physical damage to a social stigmatization and discrimination of the victim as a result of a severe body disfigurement.
