Fakhra Younus (فاخرہ یونس; 1979 – 17 March 2012) was a Pakistani woman who was the victim of an acid attack, which severely injured her face.
She underwent 39 surgeries during a 10-year period.
She died by suicide at age 33.
Younus was a dancer in a red-light district in Pakistan, when she met her future husband, Bilal Khar, the son of Ghulam Mustafa Khar, who himself is a former Governor and Chief Minister of Pakistan's largest province, Punjab.
They were married for three years, with Younus eventually leaving him after she claimed he physically and verbally abused her.
She was featured in the critically acclaimed documentary film, Saving Face (2012), having been awarded the nation's first Oscar less than a month prior to her suicide.

"In 2016 and 2017, there were a total of 71 victims of acid attacks, whereas between 2018 and 2019, there were 62 cases related to acid throwing".
