"People just have to accept me the way I am. And I actually love myself now." Flavia, Uganda. Ann-Christine Woehrl's poignant portraits of survivors of fire and acid attacks across Bangladesh, Cambodia, India, Nepal, Pakistan, and Uganda reveal their strength and resilience, presenting them not as victims but as individuals with rich inner lives. This insightful collection serves as an homage to women who navigate their unique challenges with humility and courage. In one compelling story, Neehaari, a 25-year-old from India, sheds her veil after ten days of being photographed, declaring, "Today is my personal day of independence. I will stop hiding myself." The portraits feature a neutral black background, stripping away social context and providing a solemn yet safe space for these women to be seen. The book further explores the lives of six survivors, delving into their daily struggles and moments of joy, framed by an essay and interviews that deepen the narrative. The text is presented in both English and German, showcasing the voices of these remarkable women: Farida, Neehaari, Chantheoun, Renuka, Nusrat, and Flavia.
