No More Tears: Helping Women Escape From Domestic Violence
Somy Ali is no stranger to domestic violence – she witnessed it as a child growing up in Pakistan and during her teens while working as a Bollywood actress in India. So after completing her education, she founded No More Tears in 2006 to help victims of domestic abuse in the US. Based in Florida, the non-profit organization is dedicated to offering individualized assistance to all victims who are scared to speak out and face barriers in leaving their abusers and staying safe. No More Tears wipes away the tears of abused women by providing them with counseling, legal services, shelter, English classes, household items, and financial support. The organization can also provide assistance in escaping an abuser, assistance in moving, and therapy for victims and their children.
No More Tears has helped more than 260 survivors to date. Currently active in Fort Lauderdale and Miami, No More Tears aims to replicate their services nationally by partnering with like-minded organizations.
