According to several research, one of the most prevalent motives for acid attacks is retribution, hatred, or jealousy. In Cambodia, women inflict acid burns on other women and men as a form of vengeance. Reasons such as unrequited love and affairs, sexual jealousy, hatred, and vengeance are accountable for acid attacks in India.

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.
