“The process of being on a waiting list is quite typical of domestic abuse shelters, as they always tend to be full. “What makes us exceptionally unique is that we do not have waiting lists,” Ali says. NMT also has a crisis line that is attended to at all times. NMT depends on its volunteers and the valuable partnerships it has formed with local business owners, providers of services such as legal advise, job training and other vital needs for a fresh start, whats more is that all members of the organization including Ali work without salary. To date, NMT has rescued more 1,000 men, women and children. No More Tears provides a voice for those victims who suffer from the devastating cycle of violence by providing legal services and cognitive therapy, to job training and driving lessons, No More Tears, or NMT, empowers survivors of abuse to become independent and self-reliant. “I started NMT because I grew up in a home of severe domestic violence in Pakistan and was exposed to a great deal of violence from a very early age,” says Somy Ali, a former Bollywood actress SpotLife Asia sat down with Somy to talk about all things No More Tears which a cause dear to her heart. NMT will be hosting “Lets Go Bollywood” to mark its 8th year on March 27th. While other organizations would mark such a milestone as a celebration, the mere fact of the need for its existence can contest to the severity of Domestic abuse in today’s society. No More Tears, a non profit organization which was founded in 2007 in a fight against Domestic Violence is marking its 8th anniversary this year.
