Ghanaian Comedienne, Afia Schwarzenegger has revealed why her new foundation is aimed at making women know that marriage is not a yardstick for success.
According to Afia, she was contacted by some foreigners when a video went viral which showed her estranged husband threatening her with acid after he caught her stark naked in bed with another man.
“During all the hullabaloo about my nudity on social media, God used that to bless me. A week after the video went viral, I was contacted by some Domestic Violence Association from America.
“They were a group of medical doctors who came together to form an organisation that supports domestic violence victims and also to empower women.
Initially, they thought I had been affected by the acid attack but thanks to God nothing happened to him.
She added:
“They later encouraged me to put up a domestic violence foundation to empower women through my lifestyle and make women understand that marriage is not a yardstick of success.
“Through the support from my foreign partners, Leave to Live Foundation was built and we have been able to impact a lot of women”, Afia Schwarzenegger disclosed.
