Abstract
Acid attacks, a heinous act of violence, continue to inflict immense suffering on victims worldwide. This article explores critically the root causes of acid attacks, highlighting their connection to patriarchal norms, societal inequalities, and personal discords. The devastating physical, psychological, and socioeconomic consequences of survivors are examined, underlining the challenges they face in their recovery and reintegration. The paper analyzes the legal and social responses implemented in various countries, including Nepal, Bangladesh, India, Pakistan, the United Kingdom, Uganda, and Cambodia. By analyzing these responses, the paper assesses their effectiveness in prevention, prosecution, and ensuring justice for victims. Ultimately, this paper calls for increased public awareness, strengthened legal frameworks, improved access to healthcare, and comprehensive support services to minimize pervasive scourge and empower survivors.
