Hum Kyun Maujood Hain
Pakistan mein tezaab hamle ke mutassireen ibtidai tibbi imdaad ke baare mein ghalat maloomaat ki wajah se qeemti waqt gunwa dete hain. Agarche toothpaste, doodh, ghee, tel, baking soda aur geela kapra ab bhi baray paimane par tezaab se jalne ka moassar ilaaj samjhe jaate hain, lekin in mein se koi bhi darhaqeeqat moassar ilaaj nahi. Yeh ashya tezaab ko jild ke saath phansa deti hain aur jalan ko gehra kar deti hain, aur doodh aur baking soda ki soorat mein kimiyaai radd-e-amal ke zariye zakhm mein mazeed haraarat khaarij karti hain. Tezaab hamle ke baad pehle tees minute mein yehi ghalat maloomaat tay karti hain ke mutassira shakhs sehatyaab hota hai ya taa-umar ke liye daaghdaar ho jaata hai.
Hungaami imdaad se aage, tezaab hamle ke mutassireen ko aik taweel jadd-o-jehad ka saamna hota hai. Taameer-e-nau ki dekh bhaal, nafsiyaati o samaji muaawanat, qanooni imdaad, aur pesha-warana bahaali ke liye kahan jaana hai, is baare mein qaabil-e-aitmaad maloomaat mukhtalif idaaron mein bikhri hui hain, ya bilkul dastyaab hi nahi. AcidHelp is liye maujood hai ke is maloomaat ko Pakistan mein tezaab hamle ki muaawanat ke wasaail ke aik waahid tasdeeq shuda database mein yakja kare, taake mutassireen aur un ke ahl-e-khana aik hi jagah woh kuch pa sakein jise jama karne mein doosron ko barson lag gaye.
AcidHelp is liye bhi maujood hai ke tezaab hamle ke baad kya karna chahiye, is ke baare mein aagahi phailaaye. Durust ibtidai tibbi imdaad ke baare mein awaami maloomaat Pakistan mein tezaab tashaddud se hone waale taweel muddati nuqsaan ki sab se qaabil-e-insidaad wujoohaat mein se aik hain, aur yeh platform us khala ko pur karne mein aik hissa hai.
What AcidHelp Provides
Hamari Waqalat
Acid violence in Pakistan is a policy failure and a gender-based violence crisis. While The Acid and Burn Crime Act 2018 exists on paper, in practice, acid remains openly available in chemical markets, convictions are rare, and the free treatment the law already promises survivors is not consistently delivered by public hospitals. Meanwhile, the conditions that produce acid violence in the first place — patriarchal control over women's decisions, weak enforcement of gender-based violence laws, and limited economic autonomy for women — remain largely unaddressed.
