Reshma's story is an inspiring one. Her cause was supported by Make Love Not Scars, a group that helps acid attack survivor and The Logical Indian. She hopes her participation in the fashion week would send a powerful message to other acid attack survivors. In India, an estimated 500 to 1,000 attacks take place each year, and while they rarely kill, they leave severe physical, psychological and social scars that can see victims ostracized and hidden away. Most of these attacks come from jilted husbands and rejected suitors. Reshma, who is from Mumbai, was attacked in May 2014 by her sister's estranged husband and his friends. Since then she has become a face of the campaign seeking to end the sale of industrial strength acid. Do you agree with a ban on selling industrial strength acid in these countries?

Reshma took part in a video posted to YouTube in which she showed watchers how to get perfect red lips. In the video she explained that it is as easy for someone to buy acid as it is to buy a lip stick. The video has been watched by hundreds of thousands of people. Do you find this information disturbing?
Very much so

The FTL Moda is a fashion production company committed to challenging industry stereotypes of beauty. The feature models with disabilities, in wheelchairs, on crutches and amputees. Do you agree with this kind of diversity in fashion shows?
