Afia revealed that it was the acid threat made against her by her ex-husband that lead to the establishment of her Leave to Live Foundation. Thus, what was meant for her downfall turned out in her favour.
In a report by Ghanaweb, Afia revealed that she was contacted by some foreign nationals in the USA concerning the acid attack on her by her ex-husband.
She says:
“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 me.
“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 discloses.
