Acid Attack Survivors

Acid attacks are one of the most heinous and devastating acts of violence that one can imagine. The victims of these attacks, often referred to as acid attack survivors, endure unimaginable physical and psychological pain. However, amidst the darkness, these survivors emerge as beacons of hope and resilience, defying all odds to rebuild their lives and create awareness about this horrific crime.

Acid attacks are primarily acts of revenge, jealousy, or punishment, and are predominantly targeted towards women. The perpetrators, usually known to the victims, throw acid on their faces or bodies, causing severe burns, disfigurement, and even blindness. The physical scars left by these attacks are not only painful but also serve as constant reminders of the traumatic incident.

Nevertheless, acid attack survivors display exceptional strength and determination in their journey towards recovery. They undergo numerous surgeries, skin grafts, and other medical procedures to repair the damage caused by the acid. Their physical rehabilitation is often accompanied by intense emotional and psychological healing, as they try to come to terms with their altered appearance and the trauma they have endured.

Furthermore, acid attack survivors play a crucial role in raising awareness about this brutal crime. They become advocates for change, using their own stories to educate society about the consequences of acid attacks and the urgent need for stricter laws and regulations to prevent such heinous acts. Through public speaking engagements, media interviews, and social media platforms, they encourage others to join their cause, creating a ripple effect that leads to increased awareness and support for victims of acid attacks.

Survivors also contribute to the empowerment of fellow survivors by establishing support groups and organizations. These platforms provide a safe space for survivors to share their experiences, seek emotional support, and access resources for their rehabilitation. By connecting with others who have walked a similar path, survivors find solace and strength, helping them navigate the challenges of their new lives.

It is essential to recognize the immense courage and resilience of acid attack survivors. Despite the physical and emotional pain they endure, they refuse to be defined by their scars. Instead, they emerge as symbols of hope and inspiration, challenging societal norms and expectations of beauty. Their stories remind us that true beauty lies in one's strength, resilience, and ability to rise above adversity.

In conclusion, acid attack survivors are true heroes who have triumphed over unimaginable pain and suffering. Their journey towards physical and emotional healing, combined with their relentless efforts to raise awareness and empower others, is nothing short of remarkable. Society must rally behind these survivors, providing them with the support, resources, and justice they deserve. Only through collective action can we put an end to acid attacks and create a world where no one has to endure such horrific violence.

तस्वीर

एक तेरी ही तस्वीर बनाता रहता हूं मैं

कि काश तेरी तस्वीर मूझसे कुछ कह जाये

कि काश तू भी मुझे देखकर मुस्करा दें

 

तेरी आंखों को  देखता रहता हूं मैं

कि काश उनमे नजर आ जाऊं

तेरे लबों को चूमता रहता हूं मैं

कि काश तेरी सांसों मे मेरा नाम आये

 

ये तेरी कशिश है या तेरा नूर है

तू मेरे पास होते हुए भी दूर है

तू ना होते हुए भी तेरी तस्वीर बनाता रहा हूं मैं

दीप जले तो जीवन खिले

अँधेरे में जब उम्मीदें मर जाएं, दुखों का पहाड़ जब मन को दबाए, तब एक दीप जले, जीवन में उजाला लाए, आशा की किरण जगमगाए। दीप जले तो जीवन खिले, खु...
