A Tagore International School, Vasant Vihar initiative in the interest of acid attack survivors.
2
Acid Violence is a phenomenon not restricted to a particular country, religion or gender. Every survivor is left to lead a life worse than death. We aim to bridge the gap between survivors and society, as most survivors are forced to isolate themselves, for fear of shame. Through our endeavours, we strive to promote the right of all acid attack survivors to live with dignity and respect.
