This note showcases the story of Nurun Nahar, a survivor of acid violence in Bangladesh, to demonstrate that, despite protective measures, state, medical, and legal institutions continually fail to adequately respond to violence against women systematically and deny women rights to state protection, which are affirmatively embodied in law. The failure of state institutions to ensure appropriate care has been somewhat mitigated by nongovernmental organizations (NGOs), particularly women's groups, which are albeit heavily constrained because of the volume of demand yet scarcity of expertise, infrastructure, and funds. In addition, this note offers some thoughts on how nonstate actors, namely, women's NGOs, have created alternative strategies and visions for victimized women's recovery and empowerment.
本笔记讲述了孟加拉国一名酸性暴力幸存者努伦·纳哈尔的故事，以表明尽管有保护措施，但国家、医疗和法律机构仍持续未能系统地充分应对针对妇女的暴力行为，并剥夺妇女获得国家保护的权利，而这些权利在法律中已有明确体现。国家机构未能确保提供适当护理的情况，在一定程度上因非政府组织（NGO），尤其是妇女团体而有所缓解，尽管这些组织因需求巨大但专业知识、基础设施和资金匮乏而受到严重限制。此外，本笔记还就非国家行为体，即妇女非政府组织如何为受害妇女的康复和赋权创造替代战略和愿景提出了一些思考。
