“Women Conquerers” – The Faces of Burning Justice

Abstract

Women are an important part of the world, but stereotypes about them stem from patriarchal ideologies in which women are expected to smile demurely and quietly acquiesce to declarations of love. Some men become enraged by such "unrequited love," but they never consider that women are also human beings with their own rights to live as they wish. Acid assault is a horrible crime that is usually done against women. Acid attacks on women are on the rise, primarily on young women between the ages of 15 and 30, with the purpose of disfiguring or killing them. However, it is still a highly gendered type of violence, with perpetrators nearly always being men and victims almost usually being women. The research revealed that the reported acid attack cases are for refusal to marry, rejection of love, or for any personal reasons. The women who were confronted with a vial of acid that forever transformed their lives have become a source of inspiration for all. Their lives have taken an exemplary path, and they have gone on to achieve remarkable heights in professional and personal arenas.
