ABSTRACT
Acid attack is the cruellest form of crime in our society. Acid attack is the act of throwing acid on the victim with the intention to cause deformity or disfiguration to any part of the body of the victim. For the past few years there have been an increase in cases of acid attacks in our country. Nearly 250 to 300 incidents of acid attacks are being reported in our country. Acid attack is a form of gender-based violence which aims at silencing and controlling women. In majority of cases of acid attacks victims are women. The main causes of acid attacks include domestic violence, jealousy refusal to marry, rejection for love and for other personal reasons. Acid attacks have a serious after effect throughout the life of the victim. It causes psychological trauma to the victim, severe pain, permanent disfiguration, infections and even leads to blindness of both the eyes. After acid attacks the victim suffers lot of mental trauma which changes their feelings, behaviour and perspective towards the society. They also try to withdraw from the society and isolate themselves. This eventually leads to depression. The society refuses to accept those victims as normal human being. They face discrimination everywhere. Due to their disability, they are unable to work at every places and they have to stay dependent on someone else. The paper discuses the motives behind acid attacks, laws on acid attacks, from after effects of acid attacks in the lives of acid attack survivors.
