33% of women across the globe will be the victim of some form of domestic violence
25% of women in the U.S. will experience an abusive relationship in their lifetime
No More Tears is a non-for profit organization with a focus on helping immigrant women in the United States who are victims of spousal abuse. Many of these women are brought to America via arranged marriages and are scared to speak out against their oppressor due to the ramifications they will face in their home country or for the fear of being sent back. No More Tears works with these women in helping to provide them with legal counsel, financial assistance and psychotherapy. We help with these women in not only wiping away the tears, but also making sure that there are No More Tears!
No More Tears is partially funded by So-Me, a Socially Conscious Clothing company, uniquely aimed at intellectualizing fashion while not losing its stylish edge. The primary focus of So-Me is to raise awareness about human rights issues and take a stand against injustices universally.
