Mahira Khan as the National Goodwill ambassador for UNHCR spoke up in a video message as part of #JoinThe Chorus campaign and shared details about domestic and sexual violence incidents in the country.
“Hi I’m Mahira Khan, an actor from Pakistan, and I invite you to ‘join the chorus’ and say ‘no more’ to domestic and sexual violence.” She captioned the video, “We either know of or have experienced firsthand, some sort of abuse or sexual/domestic violence. The more we speak up, the more we break the silence surrounding domestic and sexual violence.”
In a follow up post, Mahira said, “Let’s break the culture of silence that has enabled domestic and sexual violence to persist for so long.”
“The more we speak out against domestic and sexual violence, the more power we take from our abusers.”
The Humsafar actress related, “Home, it should be a space where we all feel safe.
But for some, home can be a dangerous place. And while one voice can remain unheard, a chorus cannot be ignored. So together, we can help free those harmed by domestic and sexual violence, #JoinTheChorus.”
