Bushra: Innocence Dripping

Bushra, was one of the cases that stood out in the acid attacks. What do you think of when you think of a 13 year old? You picture a girl or boy enjoyng their life, their innocence. You envision them full of joy for they have no worries even less the topic of marriage. Bushra, at the age of 13 had already been the victim of not only one but two acid attacks for refusing marriage to Javed. With her right eye and overall her right side of the face severely damaged she lowered her interest in any of her commonly done daily activities. Thankful through ASF she got the medical care and surgeries she needed to get her acid burns treated and her stability and confidence was once again restored. She has evolved into a stronger, more confident and determined young woman. Below is a photo of Bushra.
