ASF

One of our main projects this year is to help acid victims in Bangladesh through Acid Survivors Foundation (ASF).

ASF is a human rights NGO located in Dhaka, Bangladesh that deals with acid violence and its victims. Acid violence is a heinous act of burning, deformation, and destruction of the face and other parts of the body, this often causes disabilities and even death. It occurs mostly due to revenge for resisting sexual harassment, refusing marriage a proposal, failure to pay dowry, amongst various other related reasons.
