Bangladeshi victims of attacks involving acid attend a photo exhibition to raise fund for their treatment at Dhaka. The victims are women who have rejected the advances of men or refused marriage and have had acid thrown at or over them. “This is not an assignment or a personal project, “says Abir. “Bangladeshi photographers contribute their images for an exhibition to raise funds for the treatment of the acid victims. I was involved with the contributions and took this photo during the exhibition.”
