Reconstructing the faces of women disfigured by acid attacks in Pakistan

Can high-profile work reconstructing the faces of women disfigured by acid attacks in Pakistan help reduce the level of domestic violence in the country?

Renowned British plastic surgeon, Dr Mohammad Jawad, helps reconstruct the faces of women disfigured by acid attacks. He featured in an Oscar-winning documentary about his humanitarian work in his native Pakistan. His high public profile has helped raise awareness about the life-destroying nature of acid attacks in Pakistan and elsewhere in Asia, but can it bring about real change and action to help bring down the level of such violence against women?
