Introducing Project Irreversible
Irreversible is an acid violence prevention project which deploys a digital graphic novel to educate young people on the risks and consequences of acid violence on both victim and perpetrator. The novel tells three corrosive substance attack stories set in different countries highlighting the global aspect of attacks. Tackling challenging subjects, it explores decisions taken by key characters, the consequences, and the long-lasting devastating impact of those actions.
