Five attacks. Most committed by people known to the victim. Acid violence doesn't begin with the attack. It begins with threats that are dismissed, controlling behaviour that is excused and easy access to a substance that can destroy lives in seconds.
Report harassment and threats early.
Question stores that sell acid without proper checks.
Demand swift punishment for perpetrators and stricter regulation of acid sales.
The goal isn't fewer attacks next month. It's none.

Anger. Insecurity. Pride. Jealousy. Entitlement. Control. Shame. Resentment.

These are not unusual feelings. Most of us have felt them. The difference is what happens when nobody talks about them. When they are never questioned. When they are allowed to grow. That is when feelings become habits. Habits become patterns and patterns, over time, become harm.

This month, the Meer Foundation looked at the emotions that come before violence, not to excuse them, but to understand them. Because violence doesn't come out of nowhere. It builds. Slowly. Inside people who often look completely ordinary.

If we only ever talk about what happened, we miss the part where it could have been stopped. That is the conversation we need to be having.

Resentment is patient. It doesn't explode, it accumulates. It keeps score quietly, building a case over months, sometimes years. Every slight remembered. Every wound revisited. Until the complain feels so large, so valid, so completely justified that acting on it feels less like a choice and more like a correction. That is what makes resentment so dangerous. By the time it becomes harm, it feels entirely deserved.

Shame is not an emotion we associate with people who cause harm. But it is one of the most common things found underneath it. Shame about worth, about status, about being seen as weak, inadequate, less than. When shame transforms, it becomes rage that looks for somewhere to go and so the person closest is usually where it lands.

Eid is a reminder that compassion is not a gesture reserved for occasions, it is a responsibility we carry every day.

This Eid, may we continue to create spaces filled with dignity, care and hope for every individual rebuilding their life and future.

Eid-Al-Adha Mubarak from Meer Foundation.

The need for control doesn't always come from cruelty. Sometimes it comes from chaos, a childhood, a fear, a deep discomfort with uncertainty. When that need is turned outward, onto another person, it stops being a coping mechanism. It becomes dominance. It monitors. It isolates. It dictates. The demand becomes something far more dangerous. This May, the Meer Foundation is looking at what comes before the act.

Entitlement rarely feels like entitlement to the person who has it. It feels like knowing what you deserve. It feels like having standards. It is built slowly, by culture, by conditioning, by a world that has consistently said yes. So when the answer is no, it doesn't land as a boundary. It lands as a threat. For some, the response to that threat is force, physical, emotional, financial. Whatever it takes to restore what they believe is rightfully theirs.

Jealousy is often mistaken for love. It can even feel like love, intense, consuming, focused entirely on one person. Underneath it is fear. Fear of losing, fear of being replaced, fear of not being enough. When that fear is never addressed, it turns into suspicion. Every absence becomes a question. Every interaction becomes evidence. Suspicion, when it's given authority over another person, becomes punishment.

Do you agree?

Pride isn't always arrogance. Sometimes it looks like dignity. Like self-respect. Like someone who simply cannot be seen to be wrong. When that image is threatened by rejection, by embarrassment, by someone who doesn't show the right kind of respect, something shifts. The defence goes up. For some, that defence has no limit. This May, the Meer Foundation is looking at what comes before the act. The emotions that, left unchecked, quietly become harm.
