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.

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.
