An impressive event in respect of its participants and speakers drawn from the judiciary and a range of women’s and human rights organisations in a number of South Asian countries such as India, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Nepal, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh.

ASTI had sponsored acid survivors Hajira Kavitha and Shirin Juwaley to attend and speak and Shirin’s presentation was powerful and inspiring.
