"We know women across the globe face all types of violence. They cannot always be visually identified but their scars are as real and as deep as those of these brave acid survivors," said the spokesperson.
"Adele and Laxmi are role models to women who face violence everywhere. They have shown incredible strength to stand up for this important issue," the spokesperson continued.
Adele Bellis is the survivor of an acid attack which was orchestrated by a former partner in August 2014. Laxmi was 15 when a man -- who had stalked her for 10 months -- poured acid over her face while she was walking in Delhi.
Designer Raishma -- whose designs were showcased on the catwalk and worn by Laxmi and Adele -- said she was honoured and privileged to have supported a charity that "improves the lives of vulnerable girls, women and their families in South Asia".
"As an Asian women myself, this is a charity very close to my heart and I will continue to champion their message about empowering women, as I believe this is an important issue that deserves recognition," Raishma said in a statement. The event comes days after after acid attack survivor Reshma Qureshi walked the runway at New York Fashion Week. Qureshi was 17 years old when her brother-in-law threw acid over her. According to data acquired by The Guardian, the number of admissions to hospitals due to attacks using a corrosive substance has almost doubled in the past decade.
