About Acid Survivors Trust International (ASTI)
Acid Survivors Trust International (ASTI) is a UK-based not-for-profit charity (no. 1154961) working to end acid violence globally and ensure survivors live with dignity and without fear.
Check out our latest campaign, End Easy Access, here: https://asti.org.uk/end-access-to-acid/
We were founded in 2002 and helped create local foundations in Bangladesh, Cambodia, India, Nepal and Pakistan.
ASTI has partnered with the United Nations and the British Government on projects in Pakistan, Uganda, Nepal, and Cambodia.
We conduct evidence-based research which forms the basis of our advocacy and awareness raising work.
We have helped change laws in Bangladesh, Pakistan, Cambodia, and the UK. All of these countries have seen a significant drop in acid violence.
We were awarded an Impact Award by Thomson Reuters Foundation for helping to change UK law, with a focus on tighter controls on the sale of dangerous corrosives.
Acid attacks are a vicious form of premeditated violence intending to cause long term physical and emotional suffering. The perpetrators’ intentions are extreme: to facially disfigure and inflict enormous physical and mental suffering to victims.
