Somy Ali, a former Bollywood actress, now runs a non-profit, No More Tears, in Florida. On International Women’s Day, she stressed that true celebration comes only when women feel safe.
She pointed out that survivors must be believed. She spoke up but was ignored, attacked, and abandoned. Her story was dismissed, and her work was banned. According to her, powerful men still control the world, making it hard for women to get justice.
Women she helps often share the same fear—no one will believe them. She believes India needs more than laws on paper. Real enforcement, real protection, and real change are needed for true women’s safety.
She highlighted women like Malala Yousafzai, Mukhtaran Mai, and Michelle Obama. These women fought oppression, challenged power, and made history.
Ali’s message is clear: Women’s safety isn’t just about rules—it requires action. Until society truly listens, believes, and protects, real change won’t happen.
Her words are a reminder that a safer world for women needs more than just promises. It needs fearless action from everyone.
