00:08In 2009, Shaheen Malik was attacked with acid outside her workplace.
00:12She fought her case in court for 16 years,
00:15but a Delhi court acquitted the men accused of attacking her,
00:18citing lapses in the police investigation.
00:30Shaheen became a symbol for a crime that is often overlooked in India.
00:35The country officially records more than four attacks every week.
00:38Survivor groups say the real number is at least three times higher.
00:43Shaheen is now concentrating on helping survivors,
00:45as state support remains flawed with the focus on visible external injuries.
01:01That is why Shaheen brought her fight to India's Supreme Court
01:05to help all survivors.
01:07And for the first time, it's been to listen.
01:10The court as a first step ordered the Indian government
01:13to submit nationwide data on the condition of survivors,
01:17treatment, compensation and rehabilitation.
01:20After that, state governments give this data quickly and after that,
01:24something positive will happen, something will happen.
01:26So I think that our victory is done.
01:30It's true.
01:30It's also three times more than physical and illegal facilities.
01:31So I think that our victory is done on a personal basis.
01:31So there's something that change in people who are doing right now.
01:31So I think that our victory is done with us.
01:31So we're going to continue with the invitation now.
01:31So for the invitation, it's one of the important things that we do,
01:31we will have to bear keeping ourselves upon the door of our cone in front of the door will be,
01:32And, we think, to take off the door of our church and our ches in front of the door.
01:32And so we have to bear people down the door.
