Sadly, Nasoin is by no means alone in a country which has one of the highest rates of child marriage in the world. Since the turn of the century, there have been more than 3,000 acid attacks in the country.
According to the Acid Survivors Foundation in Bangladesh, almost all the attacks have been on women or girls while many of the victims are under 18.
The main reason for the violence is dowries, refusal of love proposals, or land disputes.
