Together, let's end
corrosive violence
Corrosive violence is a growing issue in the UK. Our latest research revealed a 75% rise in corrosive attacks in 2023, compared to 2022. The real number of attacks is likely to be higher due to under-reporting. Worryingly there is an increase on the number of female victims. Prevention is key. We call on urgent action by the new Government.
End easy access. End corrosive violence.

Ending acid violence
ASTI, a UK charity, is dedicated to globally ending corrosive violence. As the sole international organisation focused on this cause, ASTI has collaborated with the United Nations, the British Government, and various foundations, implementing impactful projects in multiple countries. ASTI received an Impact Award in 2019 for its work in changing UK law.
Hamida, pictured right, was attacked by a stranger in 2007, leaving her with significant injuries. With support, she has learnt different ways to cope with the attack. She has a fresh food business and is currently learning the skills needed for sewing.

The total cost of reported corrosive attacks to UK society between 2017-2022. The actual figure is likely to be higher as not all police forces respond to FOI requests.
10,000
The estimated number of global attacks each year. This is a very conservative estimate as many countries do not maintain official records of attacks.
