Look WHo’S SHooTINGAcid attack victims are left completely confounded by
the trauma of the incident. “It is one of the worst forms
of crimes against women. It is not just an emotional or
mental trauma, but also a lingering pain to try and cope
up with life after the attack. Moreover, the treatment
too, for an acid attack victim is very expensive,” says
Ravi Choudhary. The 29-year-old photographer has
been documenting these atrocities and the harsh
realities of the lives of the victims.
He tells the story of Arif, who is fighting a case
against the attackers of his 14 year old daughter, Tuba.“The accused are claiming to be juveniles, and if
proven so, they will be scott free, as the Indian
judicial system does not have provision of a harsher
punishment of juveniles guilty of hideous crimes.”
Often, the perpetrator is well known to the victim
and the only instigation is simple rejection. With only
vengenance in mind, these attackers often throw acid
at their victim's faces, burning them, and damaging
skin tissue.— Written by Aditya NairRavi Choudhary
is a photographer for the
New Indian Express.
His series Dairies of
Acid Victims is part of a
group exhibition at the
India Habitat Centre,
New Delhi from 25
February —8 March.“The worst
part is that acid
attack is a crime
not committed
out of lust or
by a person in
inebriated state,
rather as a way
of vengeance.”Ravi Choudhary"For some victims
the fight is even tougher.
The society they live in
believes that there must
be some fault of the girl
for such an incident to
occur. When the real
picture is that rejection
results in acid attacks,
but the society remains
blind to it," says Ravi.snapshotsBetter photography march 201528
