New Delhi: To create awareness about the troubled life of acid attack victims, a freeze mob on Friday gathered at a busy Central Delhi to sensitise people about the social ill.
Around 150 people, including one acid attack survivor, gathered near the busy Palika Bazar area to stand still for six minutes, Sakshi Kumar, one of the organiser said in New Delhi.
A freeze mob is a demonstration where people are usually contacted through social media.
These people gather and stand still (popularly called 'freeze') for a few minutes at a public area.
"We asked people to come wearing black sunglasses which symbolises permanent blindness that acid attack suffers and yellow ribbons on one arm which depicts fire which burns the hearts and minds of the girls after such attacks," Kumar said.
The organiser say that they want to raise awareness about the increasing number of acid attacks and the trauma that victims have to suffer. "We want to start a conversation to make stringent laws to deal with acid attacks," Tamnna Sharma, one of the organiser, said.
"I am very happy that such an event has been organised. People are trying to create awareness about this issue and I am very thankful to all those who are trying to help," she said.
"I participated to empathise with the victims and their families. It is important for everyone to feel the pain and only if people understand this issue they will take it seriously and hence sensitise their own kids," she said.
