More than just learning new skills, this initiative is helping women build confidence, explore livelihood opportunities and take meaningful steps towards greater financial independence and a more secure future.

Five attacks. Most committed by people known to the victim. Acid violence doesn't begin with the attack. It begins with threats that are dismissed, controlling behaviour that is excused and easy access to a substance that can destroy lives in seconds.

Report harassment and threats early.
Question stores that sell acid without proper checks.
Demand swift punishment for perpetrators and stricter regulation of acid sales.
The goal isn't fewer attacks next month. It's none.

Anger. Insecurity. Pride. Jealousy. Entitlement. Control. Shame. Resentment.
These are not unusual feelings. Most of us have felt them. The difference is what happens when nobody talks about them. When they are never questioned. When they are allowed to grow.

It builds. Slowly. Inside people who often look completely ordinary.
If we only ever talk about what happened, we miss the part where it could have been stopped. That is the conversation we need to be having.

Resentment is patient. It doesn't explode, it accumulates. It keeps score quietly, building a case over months, sometimes years. Every slight remembered.

Every wound revisited. Until the complain feels so large, so valid, so completely justified that acting on it feels less like a choice and more like a correction. That is what makes resentment so dangerous. By the time it becomes harm, it feels entirely deserved.

Shame is not an emotion we associate with people who cause harm. But it is one of the most common things found underneath it. Shame about worth, about status, about being seen as weak, inadequate, less than.

When shame transforms, it becomes rage that looks for somewhere to go and so the person closest is usually where it lands.

Eid is a reminder that compassion is not a gesture reserved for occasions, it is a responsibility we carry every day.
This Eid, may we continue to create spaces filled with dignity, care and hope for every individual rebuilding their life and future.

The need for control doesn't always come from cruelty. Sometimes it comes from chaos, a childhood, a fear, a deep discomfort with uncertainty. When that need is turned outward, onto another person, it stops being a coping mechanism. It becomes dominance. It monitors.

It isolates. It dictates. The demand becomes something far more dangerous. This May, the Meer Foundation is looking at what comes before the act.
