How is Somy Ali Shaping the Future of Pakistan?

Mumbai, May 15 (NationPress) Former actress Somy Ali expressed that the future of Pakistan is closely tied to the empowerment of girls through education, innovation, and compassion.

She pointed out the significant impact these factors have on creating a brighter and more progressive nation. Somy, originally from Karachi, noted the eagerness of the youth in Pakistan to learn. She remarked, “Currently, in both rural and urban areas across Pakistan, millions of girls are confined at home, waiting for marriage rather than miracles. However, what they are not told is that they can learn math, AI, and coding through free resources like Khan Academy, Google AI, or Microsoft Learn. They can explore subjects like business, psychology, math, and science through platforms like Coursera, Udemy, or other online resources. They can delve into music and film via YouTube channels or enroll in complimentary music and art classes. They can venture into fashion design and start businesses right from their study rooms. All they require is a smartphone and someone to affirm their worth.”

Ali further stated, “We discuss remittances and legislation. Yet, today’s world is driven by digital talent and emotional intelligence. Let’s position Pakistan as a GCC—not merely a Global Capability Center, but as a compassionate global catalyst for positive change!”

“Envision girls from Lahore, Rawalpindi, and Hyderabad evolving into AI analysts, UX designers, and film editors, collaborating remotely with firms in London, Dubai, and San Francisco. Artisans and survivors are establishing AI art and fashion collectives with international clientele. Women are developing ethical AI platforms and creative incubators, generating income while transforming their communities. This is not just an aspiration; it’s already unfolding in Bangladesh, Kenya, and Vietnam. Why not in Pakistan?”

Somy Ali, who operates a US-based NGO named No More Tears, alongside other ventures such as So-Me Designs and Somy Ali Productions, reiterated that education, particularly for girls, is the sole resolution to Pakistan's challenges.

“Born in Karachi and raised across borders, I’ve endured storms. I have faced sexual abuse, domestic violence, and smear campaigns. I have confronted trauma—both my own and that of over 50,000 individuals rescued through my nonprofit, No More Tears, where I have funded survivors pursuing PhDs and cosmetology diplomas! This narrative is not about suffering; it’s a declaration of hope. Despite lacking formal education while in Bollywood, holding only a 9th-grade education at the time, I compelled myself to earn degrees in psychotherapy, broadcast journalism, and film studies,” stated Somy Ali.
