This text aims to analyse different contexts from which the extreme violence can be seen and the elements that describe it, in order to articulate this concept to the phenomenon of acid attacks. In other words, the text seeks to determine and explain why such attacks are configured as an act of extreme violence, specifically to women, taking into account the stories and testimonies of surviving victims in Colombia. From it, the text seeks to make visible the obligation of the State to prevent and reduce these attacks, proposing solutions in the medium and long term, from the legislative, judicial and executive power.
