Helping survivors of acid attacks in India

Newsday

Available for over a year

It is thought every year there are around 1,000 acid attacks in India - the vast majority against women. Often those women are shunned by their own communities - sometimes even by their own families. But one charity has come up with an idea to help the survivors of acid attacks get their confidence back and get on with their lives. The Âé¶¹Éç's Global Affairs correspondent, Naomi Grimley, went to the city of Agra in India to visit the project and talk to the women there. (Photo: Indian acid attack survivors attend yoga class.
