Acid Attack
Acid attacks have become a common form of revenge and violence against women in India. Women and girls account for 75-80% of victims, with 30% being under 18 years old. Acid is easily accessible and used to permanently disfigure victims, causing physical, psychological, and economic suffering. While laws against acid attacks exist, punishments are often weak and attackers commonly receive bail. Stricter laws and regulations on acid sales are needed to curb this violence against women.
Acid attacks onsocial evils
Acid attacks involve throwing acid onto a person's body with the intention to injure or disfigure them. This causes severe burns and damage to skin and tissue, often exposing or dissolving bones. Victims are often left permanently scarred or blind. In India, acid attacks frequently target women who reject marriage or relationship proposals, as attackers aim to destroy their beauty. Acid is easily accessible and cheap in India, with few legal restrictions on purchase. While not intending to kill, acid attacks cause significant physical and emotional trauma. The document argues acid attacks should be treated as grave criminal acts and punished severely, such as 10 years to life imprisonment and a fine given to the victim.
Honourkillingppt 130127100148-phpapp01

Reasons can include marrying outside one's caste or religion, engaging in same-sex relationships, or disobeying restrictive dress codes. Honor killings are most common in India and occur due to political and social support for the practice as well as gender discrimination. Perpetrators are rarely punished.

Several cases are described, including the killing of a pregnant journalist for marrying outside her caste and attacks that disfigured women for bringing perceived shame. The consequences
