QUESTION NO : 103: IDENTIFY THESE OSCAR WINNERS (2012)





ANSWER:This year’s Best Short Documentary category at the Academy Awards has honoured a film from Pakistan about acid violence. Saving Face by directors Sharmeen Obaid Chinoy and Daniel Junge, follows the work of a British-Pakistani surgeon with the Acid Survivor Foundation (ASF), to provide free surgical services and support to victims of acid attacks

   More than 100 people, mainly women and girls, are disfigured in acid attacks every year in Pakistan, although groups helping survivors say many more cases go unreported. Pakistan is the world's third-most dangerous country for women, after Afghanistan and Democratic Republic of Congo, based on a survey conducted last year by the Thomson Reuters Foundation (link.reuters.com/jet92s), with acid attacks a common means of punishing alleged transgressions. Victims are often permanently blinded, and their scar tissue can become infected with septicemia or gangrene.
