The campaign was initiated to raise awareness and educate on how to deal with an acid attack. It was also to empower acid attack survivors, promoting strength in diversity.

The above are the steps to be followed if an individual experiences an acid attack.
The next part of the campaign emphasizes the importance of empowering acid attack survivors. Those who endure such a traumatic experience require significant support to survive and recover. Therefore, it is the duty of every member of society to empower these survivors, embrace their beauty, and promote the message of strength in diversity.

The campaign also highlighted the importance of putting an end to acid attacks by sharing stories of survivors. These stories aim to raise awareness that no one has the right to destroy someone’s life. While the perpetrators often escape, the victims are left to suffer. We must take action to prevent such attacks from occurring.
