I WAS born and raised in Dhaka, Bangladesh. I became blind four years ago, in 2011, because of an attack by my ex-husband. At that time the story got media attention which helped me a lot in getting public support. I now live in Vancouver, Canada and am pursuing my law degree at the University of British Columbia.
I want to take this opportunity to share the link of my TEDx talk with you. Here is the link. https://www.youtube.com/ watch?v=IxjcfF6g3Bo.
This is the first time that I spolce about my experience in public. I gathered the courage and strengthto speak openly about my horrific experience with violence because I have received enormous support from people around the world. Therefore, I feltIshould share thelink to spread the message.
We can only succeed in the campaign of eliminating violence against women if women who are vulnerable and living in the margins of society receive the message.
