SUMMARY:Facing Brave: Women take on the acid-throwers
DESCRIPTION:\n\nReclaiming power for good in the fight against acid attacks one step at a time. \n\n\n\nAn abuse of power\, a desire to mark as your own\, a statement of hatred – the violent use of acid is on the up. \nBut whether it’s a single step or a leap of faith\, a quiet detail or an overwhelming call – inspiration and innovation can grow from many places. Facing Brave looks to the people fighting back against this aggressive crime; to those working to empower victims and potential victims alike. \nIn this lively panel discussion\, Bradford doctor Almas Ahmed will share the story of how she chose to confront the scourge of acid attacks by becoming the inventor of the world’s first acid-proof make-up. Women’s Rights expert Danielle Cornish Spencer will give a first-hand account of the international fight against violence against women and girls\, and set out some of the global and political challenges of acid-throwing. Skin Scientist Dr. Julie Thornton will explore the scientific challenge of skin burns\, drawing on her experience of the Plastic Surgery and Burns Research Unit at the Centre for Skin Sciences\, founded following the 1985 Bradford City disaster. \n\n
