Acid attacks and offenses involving corrosive substances in the UK surged by 75% in a year, reaching 1,244 recorded incidents, with only 8% resulting in criminal charges. Women are increasingly targeted, constituting half of the victims. Acid Survivors Trust International highlights the need for more prevention initiatives and stricter enforcement of regulations to curb these attacks. The rise in attacks is alarming, with concerns about under-reporting and the potential for devastating harm caused by corrosive substances being weaponized. The data underscores the urgent need for action to address the escalating issue of acid violence in the UK.
