London (AFP) - The British capital saw 454 acid attacks reported last year, up from 261 in 2015 and 166 the year before.How long before we start seeing this sort of thing in North America?
The gallery will be exhibiting the IN/VISIBLE project by Ann-Christine Woehrl for the week, which captures the faces and stories of women who have survived attacks with acid.**********
The women aren’t from London, where headlines are currently focused, but from countries where the incidence of acid attacks is alarmingly high – Bangladesh, Uganda, Cambodia, Nepal, India, and Pakistan.
