Watch Ria’s story

Ria Sharma graduated from the Leeds College of Art in 2014. She returned home to India and founded ’Make Love Not Scars’ - an NGO that works not only to help and rehabilitate acid attack survivors but to seek justice for them. Through it’s work, the foundation has created legal benchmarks for causes relating to acid attacks. ’Make Love Not Scars’ was initially a college project; but encouragement from her tutors, and her time at Leeds College of Art, inspired her to make the project a reality.
