Bangladesh's Acid Survivors' Foundation cares for the victims of acid attacks in the country.

Mostly, the victims are women, but, in 2006, the centre was also home to two-year-old Durjoy. His aunt tried to kill him, when he was just two months old, by pouring sulphuric acid down his throat.

Al Jazeera's Tony Birtley met Durjoy - whose name means "invincible" - and learned of his struggle.
