Burns Violence Survivors (BVS) Nepal has been helping an average of 250 patients with burns caused by fire and acid every year. Many are women burnt by in-laws for not providing enough dowry, but the organization has also been helping victims (almost all young women) who have been subjected to acid attacks by husbands, jealous and spurned men or in-laws.
