Acid attack victims

In September 2015, Sanchayita Yadav (25), a resident of Kolkata, was attacked by an ex-boyfriend with acid. Despite the physical pain and social stigma, she bravely fought for four years to put her attacker behind bars.

“We all pray he finds the strength to deal with the most unfortunate loss of a parent. I know how it feels...Our love and support is with you baby,” says Shah Rukh Khan, after he saw the heart-wrenching video of a toddler waking his dead mother on a Bihar railway station.

Inderjit Kaur never gave up. In fact, it was her brave fight that led to the establishment of compensation and free treatment for acid attack survivors in Punjab and Haryana.

The move should help acid attack victims should they encounter discrimination.
