Abstract

With the increase in acid-related violence in India, vitriolage has become one of the most gruesome forms of hate crimes to be conceived and committed. This crime was majorly associated with being one of the most heinous atrocities against women. Still, in recent times, it has been observed that acid attacks are not gender specific anymore. This study set out to determine the reasons why people use acid, as well as the difficulties that assault victims face. It also recommends actions taken to address such issues and the involvement of all parties engaged in rehabilitating acid attack survivors while considering gender. The researcher followed a multiple case study approach, conducted thorough semi-structured interviews of 22 acid attack survivors and used secondary data sources. We found that acid attacks happen out of jealousy, anger, greed and ego issues, among other causes, and that it is not a gender-specific crime. Stakeholders greatly help in adopting strategies and measures that facilitate acid attack survivors.

印度硫酸袭击和利益相关者的角色:从受害者到幸存者的旅程

随着印度与酸有关的暴力事件的增加，泼硫酸已经成为最可怕的仇恨犯罪形式之一。这一罪行主要与针对妇女的最令人发指的暴行之一有关。然而，近年来，人们观察到泼酸袭击不再是针对性别的。这项研究旨在确定人们使用酸的原因，以及攻击受害者面临的困难。委员会还建议采取行动解决这些问题，并在考虑性别问题的同时，让所有参与硫酸袭击幸存者康复工作的各方参与。研究人员采用了多案例研究方法，对22名硫酸袭击幸存者进行了彻底的半结构化访谈，并使用了二手数据来源。我们发现泼酸袭击的发生是由于嫉妒、愤怒、贪婪和自我问题，以及其他原因，而且这不是一种针对性别的犯罪。利益攸关方大力帮助采取有利于硫酸袭击幸存者的战略和措施。
