Indian cafes that employ acid attack victims help fund their treatment and rehabilitation
Sheroes Hangout cafes in India’s Uttar Pradesh state employ about 50 women victims of acid attacks, a common occurrence in Indian society
The Taj Mahal, an ivory-white marble mausoleum in Agra, in the northern Indian state of Uttar Pradesh, sees tens of thousands of visitors every day, many drawn by the enduring tale of a husband’s love for his favourite wife.
Just a few kilometres away from the site built to immortalise the couple’s romance, a cafe established to help women whose lives were marred by tragedy and violence, many at the hands of their husbands, stands in stark contrast.
The women, who are victims of acid attacks, are hired as waitresses to help them reintegrate into society.
