Acid throwing, also called an acid attack, a vitriol attack or vitriolage, is a form of violent assault defined as the act of throwing acid or a similarly corrosive substance onto the body of another "with the intention to disfigure, maim, torture, or kill." Perpetrators of these attacks throw acid at their victims, usually at their faces, burning them, and damaging skin tissue, often exposing and sometimes dissolving the bones. The most common types of acid used in these attacks are sulfuric and nitric acid. Hydrochloric acid is sometimes used, but is much less damaging. The long term consequences of these attacks may include blindness, as well as permanent scarring of the face and body, along with far-reaching social, psychological, and economic difficulties.
Today, acid attacks are reported in many parts of the world. Since the 1990s, Bangladesh has been reporting the highest number of attacks and highest incidence rates for women, with 3,512 Bangladeshi people acid attacked between 1999 and 2013. Although acid attacks occur all over the world, including in Europe and the United States, this type of violence is mainly concentrated in South Asia.

Acid Attack Victim Finds Love With Fellow Campaigner SUBSCRIBE: http://bit.ly/Oc61Hj TWENTY four-year-old acid attack victim Laxmi, who goes only by her first name, has found love with social activist Alok Dixit, 26. Alok has embraced Laxmi despite the scars on her face, and the duo are now taking up the cause to fight against acid attacks. The couple is now running a campaign 'Stop Acid Attacks' and helping victims of brutal acid attacks.

Sometimes it isn't about seeing your worst enemy dead, it's about how much they can suffer before they die. They say there's no fury like a woman scorned, but more often than not it's focused on the wrong target. Last week in Hong Kong, a middle aged woman attacked a younger woman by throwing acid on her legs and face while screaming: "Stay away from my husband!" The young woman has severe burns on her face, hands and legs and 3 other innocent bystanders--including a 10 year old--were also splashed but only suffered minor injuries and have already been released from hospital. The targeted victim of the attack is still in hospital, in the ICU awaiting additional medical care. The attacker was described as wearing a medical mask, not very tall, female and middle-aged. Police alre...
