Ms. Ritu, an acid attack survivor narrates her story of surviving an acid attack for which her own cousin was responsible. After fighting for the life she also fought for justice. She also tells about the SHEROES organization that work for acid attack victims.  


When Ritu giggles, she gives no indication of the ordeal she’s gone through in the year 2012. One look at her face, though, tells the horror story. An acid attack last year changed Ritu’s life overnight. She dropped out of school, left state-level volleyball practice, and has confined herself to her Rohtak home. Haryana, with its skewed sex ratio, isn’t the best of places for a girl to grow up. Ritu, like any other girls in State, has also sensed the male supremacy and retrogressive mindset at every step. After joining Stop Acid Attacks, Ritu’s life is slowly getting back on track.
