About us

ASF was founded in 1999 (Reg#1501) in concern to the rising trend of acid violence in Bangladesh. Acid violence is a form of gender-based violence that reflects and perpetuates the inequality of women in society. Gender-based violence is prevalent in Bangladesh. This form of violence cuts across cultural and religious barriers and impedes women’s rights to fully participate in society. It has the effect of denying women basic human rights to economic and social well-being, political participation, personal fulfillment, and self-worth.
