Acid attack survivors experience profound physical and psychological trauma. This study addresses a significant gap in understanding how survivors grapple with trauma, healing and identity in contemporary digital spaces. The present study aims to explore how acid attack survivors express trauma, resilience, and identity on social media; to analyse how digital storytelling and activism challenge stigma and promote advocacy, and to assess how survivors' online narratives can inform psychological support and awareness programs. By adopting a netnographic approach, the research analyses publicly available content from survivor-led accounts, campaigns, and hashtags across platforms such as Instagram, Facebook, and X (formerly Twitter). Thematic analysis (Braun & Clarke, 2006) was done to identify the recurring patterns in the digital narratives of the survivors pertaining to trauma, identity and resilience. To complement this, visual framing analysis by both Entman (1993) and Goffman (1974) was implemented. Thematic analysis revealed themes including scars as strength, digital advocacy, humanizing narratives, psychosocial resilience, community solidarity, social media healing, body image experiences, and joyful expressions. Analysis through Entman's approach showcases a balance between two main frames: highlighting their suffering and trauma and portraying their resilience and strength. From Goffman's framing approach, the key finding is that acid attack survivors actively manage their online self-presentation by carefully selecting and shaping how they share their stories and images. The research has relevance for practitioners as the findings highlight the value of incorporating survivors' online communication in psychosocial interventions. The research emphasizes the significance of digital stories in informing inclusive awareness campaigns and in spreading survivor agency. Finally, the research contends that resilience and healing in the modern world are not limited to transcending trauma but also in expressions of joy, creativity, and everyday engagement in cultural life.
