The St. Petersburg Times photoblog posted this graphic and powerful look at women in the Middle East attacked with acid. The photos are horrifying and it’s hard to imagine myself living in a world where this act exists as a very normal thing. It’s photos like this that make me realize that the world needs a lot of change sooner rather than later.
If you’ve got the stomach, you can look at the entire photo series here.
I live in the Middle East and this is not a “very normal thing” here. Perhaps you’d want to think about why you think that something that isn’t true is when it isn’t and get outraged about that too.
