It happened in 2005, when MoniCa Singh was eighteen years old and living in India. She was driving in her hometown of Lucknow when several men attacked, throwing acid on her face and body. Singh says the attackers were hired by a man who wanted to punish her for refusing his marriage proposal.

She has since undergone 46 reconstructive surgeries and has scarring on 95 percent of her body. Singh says her attacker's main goal was to prevent her from living the life she wants. She's determined to prevent his wish from coming true. That's why she now lives in New York City and is pursuing her dream of being a fashion designer. "The biggest revenge -- to this guy -- is to live the way you wanted and to keep doing whatever you always wanted."

Would you believe if we told you that two of the accused had been acquitted after they paid a meager sum of 25,000 Indian rupees?

Survivors of acid attacks are often regarded as victims - with good reason. Their lives are forever changed. But Monica Singh argues the superhero motif is a better fit. Singh runs the Mahendra Singh Foundation (https://mahendrasinghfoundation.org/) which aims to support victims of gender-based violence.
