Beskrivning:

‘The support I received from ASF has made a huge difference in my life. I can now study, work and make my own decisions. I am truly grateful for the help I have received.’

Sonia, aged 24, from Magura, south-western Bangladesh, was attacked with acid in 2000 after she refused to respond to the proposal of an arranged marriage.

Since being admitted to the Acid Survivors Foundation (ASF), she has finished her schooling with education support from the Foundation.

She now works for ASF and is currently pursuing an under-graduate degree in the Arts.

The ASF is supported by the Acid Survivors Trust International, a UK charity whose patron is HRH Princess Anne. The Trust has established foundations in six other countries, based on the Bangladesh model.

Thanks to UKaid and support from other partners, ASF has treated some 2,500 victims since 1999, a quarter of whom are children. The incidence of attacks has declined significantly, from about 500 in 2002 to 150 in 2009.
