Somayeh Mehri and Rana Afghanipour go for medical treatment for injuries caused by an acid attack.
Somayeh now prefers to keep her face entirely covered in public.
Somayeh Mehri doesn’t like socializing any more, following injury in an acid attack, and spends much of her time praying.
Somayeh Mehri (29) walks with her daughter Rana Afghanipour (3) and another daughter, Nazanin, at Somayeh’s father’s house, the only place she feels calm after an acid attack eighteen months previously.

Rana Afghanipour sleeps with her mother every night, following an acid attack 18 months previously. Her skin becomes irritated at night, and she needs her mother to calm her down.
Each week Somayeh and Rana travel some 1,300 km from their home town to the Iranian capital for treatment.
