Event Description : 
Exhibition "Acid Survivors" by Jaime Ledn y Jordi Pizarro.



Victims of acid attacks in India are not only permanently disfigured, they are forced
to deal with the emotional burden of being social outcasts in their communities, often living a life of solitude and neglect. The girls and women who suffer these attacks are seldom granted protection and justice under the law; very few receive compensation and most are unable to pay for the multiple surgeries needed to mend their disfigured faces. There are no statistics about how many attacks are very years because the government don't recognize the acid attack as a separate offense since 2013, but different international NGO'S estimated that there are around 1.000 cases every year.
