According to the publications released by Kamruzzaman and Hakim, a clear association exists between poverty and gender-based violence (2016). In Bangladeshi society, patriarchy and male supremacy are also significant contributors to women’s subjugation and gender-based violence (Hossain, 2016 AU53: The in-text citation "Hossain, 2016" is not in the reference list. Please correct the citation, add the reference to the list, or delete the citation. ). Typically, sulphuric Acid, hydrochloric Acid, and nitric Acid are utilized for this horrible act of violence. The effects of acid violence are horrifying and excruciating. A victim experiences physical, psychological, economic, and social suffering. The survivors of acid assaults are traumatized, deformed, crippled, socially outcast, and economically disadvantaged.

Abstract
This chapter presents the people's viewpoint on acid-burned populations. The project aims to understand more about acid attack survivors' struggles to reintegrate into society. What resource shortages do acid victims face while reentering society? The emphasis of this chapter was on public perception and reintegration. These chapters discuss the fundamental needs of acid victims. The researcher examined the data using themes. The Acid Survivor Foundation (ASF) assisted victims by providing free housing, food, clothing, medical care, therapy, counseling, physical therapy, and surgeries (both long and short-term). After their hospital stays, victims went home. There were exceptions, but most returned to their original families. Many acid attack victims from disadvantaged families struggled throughout time. They had money, education, and housing issues, and this rehabilitation may enhance the SDGs' goal.
