Violence in Iran.

Raana Por Amrai, 38 years old, and Fatemeh Qalandari, 8 years old, are both residents of Kohdasht in Khoram Abad. Raana’s brother-in-law imagined Raana caused his wife to divorce with him. Therefore, on July 2015, he found it a good occasion to throw acid on Raana and Fatemeh. During this attack, Raana’s face, eyes, hands and some parts of her neck were burnt. Meanwhile, Fatemeh’s scapula, hand and arms were burnt. © Asghar Khamseh

Zivar Parvin, 37 years old. After her husband died, her brother-in-law proposed to her. Her answer was no. On the night of July 9, 2011, her brother-in-law (along with his wife) threw acid on Zivar and her 18-year-old daughter Yasra while they were sleeping. 18 days after the acid attack, Yasra died. Zivar lost her left eye completely. The photo in her hand pictures Zivar before the acid attack. © Asghar Khamseh.

Masoumeh Atai, 32 years old, Esfahan resident. In 2008, she divorced her husband. Two years later, she was attacked with acid by her ex-father-in-law. The reason for the acid throwing was that Masoumeh disagreed with her father-in-law, who wanted her to reconcile with her ex-husband. Masoumeh lost her sight. © Asghar Khamseh.
