Bangladeshi acid survivors hold candles during a campaign to end violence against women organized by a national network in Bangladesh supported by UNFPA at Rabindra Sarober, Dhanmondi in Dhaka, Bangladesh on Wednesday. Acid attacks are most common in Cambodia, Afghanistan, India, Bangladesh, Pakistan and other nearby countries. It is estimated that some 80 per cent of victims of the acid attacks are female and almost 40 per cent are under 18 years of age.
