Archive: Meeting Bangladesh's acid attack victims (2006)
- 12 years ago
Bangladesh's Acid Survivors' Foundation cares for the victims of acid attacks in the country.
Mostly, the victims are women, but, in 2006, the centre was also home to two-year-old Durjoy. His aunt tried to kill him, when he was just two months old, by pouring sulphuric acid down his throat.
Al Jazeera's Tony Birtley met Durjoy - whose name means "invincible" - and learned of his struggle.
