Evidence (2024-02-15): These attacks involve splashing sulphuric or nitric acid onto a victim’s face or body. Corrosive substances melt the skin tissue, often exposing or dissolving the bones underneath. They can lead to permanent disfigurement, scarring, a narrowing of the nostrils, eyelids and ears, and permanent damage to sight and hearing. [...] Acid attacks as gendered violence [...] Acid attacks where police are able to identify a gendered motivation should be treated like a racial or religious hate crime, where sentences are increased if a hate crime is identified. This would encourage the issue to be taken more seriously, and recognise victims as being affected by domestic abuse or gender-based discrimination. A number of UK women have reported not being taken seriously by police when they report threats of acid attacks.

Here she looks at the complex picture behind the rise in attacks. [...] Globally the majority of acid attack victims are still female – the assaults often resulting from men exercising coercive control or exacting revenge. But here in the UK the increase in attacks involve men against men. One of those victims from that night in east London tells me he is now scared to go out at night, but not scared to speak out.

Claim: Acid attack victims have been included in the list of people considered as disabled. (Govt. of India, 2018-05-26)
Evidence (2021-03-19): Finally, the Rights of Persons with Disability Act, 2016, recognises disability from a sociological perspective rather than a medical one. It recognises ‘acid attack victims’ as persons with a specified disability. This allows survivors to get a disability certificate. Those with benchmark disabilities, i.e. those who have 40% or more ‘disfigurement’, are entitled to reservations in government jobs. They are also entitled to other benefits under Chapters VI and VII of the Act, including free education for their children. The recent Vikash Kumar judgment on the Act clarified the importance of rights granted to people with less than 40% of disabilities as well. The private sector is also obliged to make reasonable accommodations and issue an equality policy. It remains to be seen how, or whether, this will be implemented with respect to acid attack survivors.

Evidence (2024-08-27): 15. Victims who have a learning disability or mental health condition can be credible witnesses - Suspects often deliberately target individuals who are vulnerable due to mental or physical health conditions or disabilities and may also refer to them in attempts to undermine the victims’ account or use them as a tool of coercion. Prosecutors should take a suspect-centric approach to considering the facts of the case. [...] Many disabled people face problems of negative attitudes towards either their mental or physical impairment and may often feel or be made to feel isolated. In fact, some victims may be specifically targeted because of their mental health condition or physical impairment by the abuser, to exert control and dominance, whether through physical violence, or through less obvious controlling or coercive behaviours.

It should also be noted that ‘acid attack victims’ as a category was not included in the original bill introduced by the UPA.

The number of housing units within those collapsed and heavily damaged buildings is around 507,000, indicating the size of emergency housing needed for earthquake victims. We expect this number to rise.

Nine hours later, at 13:24:47 (UTC + 03:00), a second earthquake of Mw 7.6 occurred 100 km to the north in Elbistan (Kahramanmaraş) at a depth of 7.0 km. While the Mw 7.7 Pazarcık earthquake coincides with the Narlı Segment at the northern end of the left lateral strike-slip Dead Sea Fault Zone, the Mw 7.6 Elbistan earthquake coincides with the Çardak Fault, a branch that separates from the EAF. These earthquakes that occurred on the EAF are recorded as two of the strongest earthquakes to hit the Republic of Türkiye in more than 100 years. [...] References - Garini, E.; Gazetas, G.

[...] A3: Turkey ranks among "the most seismically active countries in the world." The initial 7.8 earthquake on February 6 was the highest magnitude earthquake recorded in Turkey since 1939 and the second highest in its recorded history. But earthquakes are a regular fact of life in many parts of a country that sits on the intersection of two major fault lines. The February 6, 2023, quakes happened along the East Anatolian Fault, though the most recent major earthquake almost a quarter century ago happened along the North Anatolian Fault.
