Thesis (Ph.D.)--Clark University, 2004.

This dissertation aims to trace the complex trajectory of the anti acid violence campaign in Bangladesh during the years of 1995–2003. The development of this campaign began with the efforts of a group of Bangladeshi women working under the auspices of the women's advocacy group called Naripokkho to turn incidents of acid throwing against women and girls in Bangladesh into a concerted public campaign by mobilizing key players at the national, and international levels and making strategic alliances with them. The expansion of the campaign over time as a result of the diversification of actors involved—at the national and international level—not only invoked concerted efforts by varying institutions to assist acid survivors but also some unintended consequences.Subjects--Topical Terms:

520 $a This dissertation aims to trace the complex trajectory of the anti acid violence campaign in Bangladesh during the years of 1995–2003. The development of this campaign began with the efforts of a group of Bangladeshi women working under the auspices of the women's advocacy group called Naripokkho to turn incidents of acid throwing against women and girls in Bangladesh into a concerted public campaign by mobilizing key players at the national, and international levels and making strategic alliances with them. The expansion of the campaign over time as a result of the diversification of actors involved—at the national and international level—not only invoked concerted efforts by varying institutions to assist acid survivors but also some unintended consequences.
520 $a It is my contention that by 2003, the success of the campaign against acid violence in Bangladesh can be measured by the creation of an independent coordinating service providing body called the Acid Survivors Foundation (ASF) founded and financed by an international donor agency, namely UNICEF-Bangladesh. The success of the campaign can also be measured by the passing of new and more stringent legislation by the Bangladeshi government to criminalize the sale of acid without a license and to rigorously prosecute perpetrators of acid violence. These are however ambiguous successes. The dominant narratives about the acid campaign, presented currently by ASF, UNICEF, the international and national media, and state-sponsored rehabilitation programs, by ignoring the complex genealogy of the acid campaign erases the agency of the Bangladeshi women activists whose groundwork made the campaign possible and eventually successful. In addition, the diversification and expansion of the campaign has compromised its initial radical agenda, which strived to transform survivors into activists and leaders of the campaign. The new services, albeit having greater reach espouse a WID-centered strategy with inadequate attention to systemic change. This is a story of the complexity of local women's organizing and its negotiations with transnational politics and subsequent successes and failures.
