"Rai is not unusual. Alarming numbers of pregnant women in the coastal district of Dacope, in south-west Bangladesh, have been diagnosed with pre-eclampsia, eclampsia and hypertension. Scientists believe it is linked to rising salinity in drinking water. 'High blood pressure is among the leading causes of maternal death in developing countries,' says Aneire Khan, a researcher in environmental epidemiology, who in 2008 carried out the first research into the correlation between high blood pressure-related conditions among pregnant women and salt intake from drinking water sources. 'It also makes pregnant women particularly vulnerable to pre-eclampsia, which can lead to severe headaches, organ damage and even death.' Khan conducted a second study...more

"An often-overlooked effect of salinity intrusion is on the menstrual health and hygiene of women and adolescent girls, a problem that intensifies wider social insecurities. Shopna Dhali, 36, can’t afford to buy sanitary pads for her teenage daughter so when she gets her period, she uses old rags which are washed using saline water and reused. Research suggests such practices can leave women and adolescent girls exposed to various hygiene risks, such as rashes, skin diseases and uterine infections" (para 18-19).

"In 2007, we came together to form the Acid Survivors' Network, with support from ActionAid Bangladesh. And with it, my dream came true. Now, I have the chance to provide vital support to people who, like me, don't want to be defined by their vicious attack. I became an integral part of the Network's formation and operation as a focal point of ActionAid Bangladesh. My role is to design projects focusing on acid survivors' empowerment, coordinate with the Network members, and conduct quarterly meetings.

"Since the day of my attack – the day that my life changed forever – I've learned that acid is used in attacks against women and girls because so much bearing is placed on their physical appearance in society. Acid attacks are used as a means to permanently scar the survivor and reinforce harmful patriarchal norms that are rooted in a male sense of entitlement over women. I rejected a relationship proposal. I was attacked with acid as a result. A woman's disfigurement becomes a public mark of shame, making it hard for her to go to school, gain employment or engage in public life" (para 9-11).
