ACID
T IZED SURVIVOR HEINOUS CRIME 84
It’s a Crime Acid attacks happen every day in India. In most cases, the attacker is someone the victim knows and trusts. Acid attacks are typically targeted at the victim’s face, stripping her of her physical beauty as a way of controlling her. It takes just 30 seconds for acid to burn through skin and bone, causing brutal disfigurement. Those who survive an acid attack become stigmatized and ostracized in their communities, with limited access to adequate medical treatment.
70%
of acid attack survivors in India are women
37% are attacked at home
41%
of attacks are due to unrequited love or domestic violence
The majority are attacked between the ages of 11 & 30
SEYCHELLES IS COMMITTED TO SPREADING GLOBAL AWARENESS AROUND THE PROBLEM OF ACID ATTACKS. Inspired by the courageous women who have survived acid attacks, the #MyBeautyIsMySmile collection features hand-tooled leathers and a daily reminder that true beauty comes from within. 85
LAXMI turquoise, red, brown, black
Laxmi’s Fight Laxmi Agarwal was attacked at the age of 15 after she ignored a proposal from a man twice her age. Slighted by her rejection, he attacked her on the street, pinning her down and pouring acid on her face and arms. Laxmi took action and filed a public interest suit with the Supreme Court of India in 2006, demanding stricter action from the government toward the perpetrators of these crimes. It became a landmark case, and in 2013 the court ruled in her favor — officially listing acid attacks in the “heinous crimes” category in the Indian constitution, and instituting an age requirement of 18 for over-the counter acid sales. But the problem persists; acid remains easy to obtain in India, and attacks often go unreported, making it possible for attackers to escape prosecution.

We are not victims, we are survivors Sheroes’ Hangout is a cafe run by acid attack survivors. It was created as a place where acid survivors could make a living and be a part of the community. As many victims are attacked at a younger age, their education is halted and they become isolated from society – sometimes not leaving their homes for months or even years. Cafe Sheroes is a place for them to learn how to be part of society again. Primarily funded by the nonprofit campaign Stop Acid Attacks, which also helps victims of acid crimes seek legal and medical help, there are now three Sheroes’ Hangout locations throughout India – all serving as a safe space and community center for these courageous women. “Earlier we used to think we wanted to die, but now we want to live. We want to fulfill our dreams.” — Neetu, acid attack survivor
87
A portion of the proceeds from this collection will be donated to the Stop Acid Attacks campaign and the women of Sheroes’ Hangout, to help survivors of acid attacks get adequate medical treatment and integrate back into society. Join the movement: #MYBEAUTYISMYSMILE
