#EndAcid........................Reshma Qureshi a acid attack Survivor on the Runway Of NYFW 2016
Reshma Qureshi, a
19-year-old Indian acid attack survivor who also actively campaigns for the
#EndAcidSale movement, on
Thursday walked the
runway at New York Fashion Week, in what she called a life-changing experience
after wowing the audience with her catwalk and her beauty despite the acid
attack.
Reshma's brother in-law attacked her
with acid with the help of his friends who pinned her down in 2004 and she lost
one of her eyes in the process.
“I want to tell the world—do not see us
in a weak light and see that even we can go out and do things,”
“People have the tendency to look at
acid attack survivors from one perspective and I don’t want them to look at
them like that anymore,” she told the AFP after the show.
“I feel really good and the experience
was great,” she said in Hindi through a translator, according to The Guardian.
I feel as though it has definitely changed my life. I do feel brave." Go Girl...God bless you
