About Us

No More Tears is the brainchild of Ms. Somy Ali. After living in a world of glitz and glamour, she decided to leave everything to complete her education. During this time, she realized that she must do something about the many injustices she had seen in her life.

Inspiration comes from many sources. One of the sources that affected Ms. Ali, was when she was writing, directing, and producing a documentary about Mukhtaran Mai. This sad, but yet inspirational, saga is just one of the thousands of stories that are the reason why No More Tears exists.

Determined that one (wo)man CAN make a difference, Ms. Ali knew that it was time for her to take a stand for those whose voices are left unheard. She understood that it was time for her to help those who most of society ignores. She thought it was time for her to wipe the tears from those who were left crying. From this was borne, No More Tears.
