Nurbanu was married for 18 years before her husband threw acid in her face, burning her skin and blinding her. She is one of thousands of women and girls in Bangladesh who have been victim to acid attacks. VSO volunteer Michael McManus worked with human rights NGO, Agrogoti Sanstha, to develop long-term support plans for acid victims and implement measured systems to reduce and prevent acid violence across Bangladesh.
