No More Tears was founded by Somy Ali, originally from Karachi, Pakistan, who grew up in a home of severe violence. Somy, her mother and younger brother moved to the U.S. from Pakistan when she was 12. At age 16, she moved to India to pursue a career in the Hindi film industry and 10 films later, returned to the United States in order to pursue a formal education. Graduating with a degree in Psychology, Somy established No More Tears, a 501 (c) 3 not-for-profit organization, in 2007, with the mission of rescuing human trafficking and domestic violence victims from their abusers. No More Tears (NMT) works with all victims of relationship violence; however, the majority of our clients are trafficking victims who have been subjected to extreme physical, psychological, and sexual abuse and torture.
Since its inception in 2007, NMT has provided immediate and direct assistance to over 30,000 adults and children. During a typical month, the organization receives more than 50 referrals from police departments, victim advocate organizations, the FBI, ICE, schools and medical facilities. In 2017 alone, NMT assisted over 100 victims of physical and sexual violence and the need is increasing at an alarming rate. With Florida ranked number 2 in the United States for human trafficking, we are in a state of emergency. In 2011, Ali was honoured with the American Heritage Award from the American Immigration Council for her work with No More Tears, The Daily Point of Light Award April 15, 2015 by President George H. W. Bush and The National Domestic Violence Month "A Proclamation" by President Barack Obama for her work with No More Tears.
