Women in Bangladesh have come increasingly under acid attacks as a form of retaliation, killing some and disfiguring many for life. Most victims are young women like Kakoli, who was attacked for spurning a fellow student's marriage proposal. As the attacks increase, Bangladeshi civil society is agitating for stricter punishments for the criminals and greater care for the victims. Meanwhile, survivors have joined hands with citizen groups to raise awareness.
