Current compensation for acid attack survivors, typically ₹1–10 lakh, falls far short of reality. A single reconstructive surgery alone can cost ₹4–5 lakh, and most survivors require several procedures over many years. The financial burden extends beyond hospital bills to mental health care, rehabilitation, and the basic need for dignified employment.
Team ASSF calls on the government to revise compensation to match actual treatment costs. We also advocate for comprehensive survivor support: assured job opportunities, vocational training, disability entitlements, and access to all required medical care.
Justice means more than survival. Survivors deserve the resources to truly rebuild their lives.
We appeal to acid attack survivors regarding the following:
"If a person cannot help himself, then what can help expect from others? And then they show false sympathy, saying 'we are acid victims, we are acid victims.' But when someone comes forward to support them, why don’t they step up? When they are asked for their FIR copy, when documents are asked from them, they refuse to give them. And then they say the government is bad, the NGO is bad — you blame everyone. But when someone actually comes to help you and you yourself don’t want to take that help, then you cannot blame anyone else."
Thank you.
