"She was waiting to get an order, when a fellow repartidor pulled up alongside and threw chlorine at her. 'I felt it burning against my clothes,' Augustin says.

I rejected a relationship proposal. I was attacked with acid as a result. A woman's disfigurement becomes a public mark of shame, making it hard for her to go to school, gain employment or engage in public life" (para 9-11).
