Summary :
My name is Human Being. I have the right to choose everything in my life; just like you; because it's only natural. ISN' T IT ? That's why I am turning my face towards you with complete confidence.
This is the way we imagine what should be the highest shape of the relations between the human beings. We are still far from this ideal.
Véronique Sapin chose to speak about one of these acts which drive humanity to regress towards the animal: the acid attack
That is a crime with a marked gender skew. Women and girls are victims in 75-80% of cases. Of the female victims, about 30% are under 18.
1,500 cases are recorded around the world every year. However that is likely to be massively underreported. Most victims are fearful to report it to the police for fear of reprisal. The acid attacks are increasing.
