ASF-P aims to eventually develop the four-pronged holistic approach first modelled in the ASF organisation in Bangladesh – that is a simultaneous provision of medical responses, rehabilitation for survivors, legal interventions and a prevention campaign.

Plans

• 50 more patients welcome in 2010 in the nursing and support unit.
• Set up an international cooperation network for addressing the acid throwing issue.
• Nationwide quantitative survey on acid throwing.
• Raising awareness and developing prevention methods about acid throwing so that this crime could be eradicated from Pakistan.
• Inform people in Pakistan that ASF can assist acid survivors on 24 hour basis.
• Acid survivors reintegrate back into the main stream of society and become independent Pakistani citizens.
• Advocacy and lobbying for implementation of law regarding acid sales regulation and monitoring.
• Advocacy and lobbying for an amendment in the Pakistani Penal Code for acid attack perpetrators to be punished.
• development of local capacity in the field of psycho-social rehabilitation and burns nursing care.
