for the
ear ended 31 December 2024
The trustees present their report with the fitjancial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 De¢ember 2024. The
trnstees have adopted the provisions of Accounting and Reporting by Charitie5: Statement of Recommended Practice
applicable to clwities preparing thelr accounts in accordance with the Fillan¢ial Reporting Standard applicable in the
UK and Republic of Ireland {FRS 102) (effective l January 2019) and the Charities Act 2011.
BACKGROUND TO THE WORK OF ASTI
Acid violence is the deliberate use of acid to attack another human being. 81Y/o of victims are women. It can disfigure in
seconds. resulting in devastating physical and psychological trauma. Many altacks target women because they spurn
sexual advances, marriage proposals or question the authority of men within the family or community. Corrosive attaeks
often tend to occur in countries wbere there is significant gender discTimination and weak controls on the availability of
corrosives. Corrosives are cheap and an vasily available wvapon. The UK has the highest reported number of atta¢k5 in
the world. However. it should be noted that attacks will be under-reported in many countties.
A fear of reprisal andlor a lack of confidence in the policing and judicial systems often deters victims to report the
attack.
Depending on the severity of corrosive attacks. a survivor may require dozens of surgical procedures as well a5
long-terni psychological and rehabilitative ￿e. The on-going costs for key interventions such as legal. medical.
psychological and rehabilitative for Survivors prohibit them from accessing the support they desperately require. Most
survivors are econotnically dependent on their families and do not have fi￿(ts thai can enable thetn to access these
services. Women make up the majority of surYivoT5.
Acid violence is not linked to a particular country. religion or culture. Countries with 2 high number of attacks often
possess a set of common characteristics. These include a weak judiciary and policing systems. poverty, and geThder
discrimination.
OBJECTIVES AND AcfIvITIES
Objectives and aims
Our vision is a world where acid and burns Violen￿ has been eliminated and all Su￿1VorS of acid and burn attacks can
access the support ne¢¢ssary to live with di￿lty and witbout fear.
Our mission is to serve as an international centre of excellence that campaigns for the global elimination of acid and
burns violence. and provides vital support to survivors through a network of in-coullty partners sharing knowledge,
expertise, and best practice.
Public benefit
We have referred to the guidance contained in the Clwity Con]mission's generdl guidance oll public benefii when
reviewing our aim and objectives and in planning our fu￿re activities. In particular. the trustees consider how planned
activities will contribute lo the aims and objectives they have set.

ACHIEVEMEwf AND PERFORTrIANCE
Supply Chain Report
The easy ar¢essibility of highly corrosive substan￿5 such as sulphuric acill is a major ¢ontributory faclor to the high
number of attacks. By encouraging COTporaies lo undertake strict due diligence and supply chain assessments. we can
help rninimise easy access to dangerous Substances that have been weaponi5ed by perpetrators of acid attacks. Many
indllstries deploy the use of cotrosives including the textiles industy.
In 2024. AST[ has worked with partners to create an AST[ 'Look Boov. A Look Book is a communications and
marketing tool used by fashion industry {and other ]nd￿$trICS) brands to showcase latest designs. The LAx)k Book was
reated with survivor Patricia Lefranc. communicalions company M¢CaTW and the renowned portrait and fa5hi¢)n
photogrdpher Rankin. ASTI will use the IAKyk Book as a means to reach out lo businesses who use cotrosive substances
in their supply chains and raise awareness on the potential risk of the weaponisation of corrosives. The goal being to
encoura(ye Companies to ensure their cbaiDS are robusl and secure to prevent unauthorised access to dangerous
substances.
Project Irreversible- A Prevention luitiative
Project Irreversible will deploy the use of a digital graphic novel and tool-kit to highlight the risks and consequences of
an aeid attack. The novel will tell three stories centred around acid attacks. the storie5 provide different outcomes. All
stories focus largely on ￿￿etratorS, highligbiing the consequences of an acid attack on both perpetrator and victim. The
primary target audience is al Tisk young people. The plan had been to launch the initiative in 2024. However, due
unforeseen delays th¢ aim is to identify p)tential delivery partners in 2025, with the view to implement in late 2025 or
2026.
Why a digital graphic novel? We believe that a graphic novel will allow us to better engage with 8roup5 from
disadvantaged backgrounds. There is increasing evidence of the benefits in the use of grapbic novels to take on
challenging and difficult subjects. The graphic novel is infoTmed by latest evidence. drdwing on survivor and peq)etralor
experiences. The toolkit will be deployed to highlight key topics raised in the graphi¢ novel including:
Illegality of purchasing controlled substances by under 21's
Trauma as experienced by survivors and perpetrdtors - perpetrators can also be vi¢tim5 of trauma due to early
experience as victims of violence.
- Repercussions of attack on victim- long-terni medical treatmenL Post-traumatic stress disorder.
- P¢￿etratOr experience of violence from peers and domestic settin& imprisonment for perpetrating attack and the
resulting negative impact.
Research
ASTI is working with a local in4ountry partsier to Produce research to better understand corrosive violence in Latin
America. The research will focus on approx. 5 countries. The aim is to have the report completed in 2025. As well as the
Latin America research, ASTI has also wid¢rtaken delailed research to gain an understanding of the scale of the problem
in the UK through Frwlom of InfornMtion requests. The research helps to provide a clear picture of ¢otrosive atlacks in
the UK.
