Life after an acid attack #video#India Cafe Sheroes’ Hangout is a safe haven for women who survived acid attacks, which are all too common in India. They are often carried out by the people closest to the victims - husbands, relatives and suitors. Spurned romantic advances and domestic disputes are frequently cited as motives for the attacks. Acid throwing is reportedly on the rise, with up to 1,000 cases reported every year. Even though attackers risk a life sentence, the damage done to victims is irreparable. They don't just have to deal with trauma, but also social stigma and rejection. While many prefer to hide their face and keep away from others, the women at Sheroes’ Hangout prove there is life after an attack. They run the cafe, serve clients, take pictures, and make themselves visible. Follow: https://t.me/rtdocumentary
