Chanchal and her sister suffered an acid attack by 4 men on 21st October 2012 in Chitnawa village of Maner block in Bihar. They attacked them because they tried fending off their sexual harassment approaches.

As per the rules, the victims are supposed to be compensated by the state. However, even after 2 and half years, they did not receive any money. Community correspondent Varsha has shot the story and met various officials . She held press conferences and also filed a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) in the Supreme Court. Thus the State Government was forced to take action and on 26th Aug 2015 the compensation was granted. Thisimpact was achieved by collaborating with various platforms such as change.org.
