''Acid attacks, like other forms of violence against women, are not random or natural phenomena. Rather, they are social phenomena deeply embedded in a gender order that has historically privileged patriarchal control over women and justified the use of violence to “keep women in their places.”
''acid violence is a form of gender-based violence and discrimination prohibited under international law, including the “Women’s Bill of Rights,” i.e., the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women. ''
''To combat acid violence, governments should limit the availability of acid, appropriately punish perpetrators, provide adequate redress to victims, and support women’s empowerment to enhance their self-confidence and ability to sustain independent livelihoods. ''


PALLAVI, KAMAT, (Stop Street Harrasment Correspondent) Stop Street Harrasement Blog- July 2012
''we usually visualize women being subjected to a few catcalls and obscene comments in public places. Over the last few years, in India, however, women are being confronted with a completely gruesome form of street harassment.'' 
''Women in different parts of India have faced acid attacks from men for several reasons, most common among them being refusal of a proposal. Men track down these women, accost them and attack them with acid leaving them severely scarred. Though the physical injuries may heal (after laborious and multiple operations), the mental injuries remain for life.''
