Born in Bangladesh and married at the age of 28. Elita Karim was hit by her husband on their honeymoon, a pattern that repeated itself throughout their two-year marriage.
She found the strength to leave her abusive relationship and has gone on to support other women who are suffering at the hands of violent husbands. She believes that raising awareness of domestic violence is the first step towards ending a societal problem that affects millions of women and girls worldwide.
After divorcing her husband, she went on to earn an MBA at a university in the UK. and now lives in Singapore and works in finance as a Management consultant.
Elita has recently done a TEDxTalk on "How to Combat Domestic Violence in Southeast Asia".
What helped Elita in the process of leaving her abusive husband was (i) opening up about her situation with family and friends (ii) asking for support when she needed and (iii) creating a vision of the 'better life that she believed she was worthy of.
In the years following her divorce, she worked deeply on her personal transformation and took up practices of forgiveness, gratefulness & dream building- all of which led her to the beautiful life that she is now living.
