Activist Mahira Khan has joined the worldwide #JoinTheChorus movement, which aims to "raise public awareness of domestic and sexual abuse, as well as urge for a collective response."
The No More Foundation, the Commonwealth Secretariat, and the social impact company Gentle Forces have joined forces to launch a campaign to prevent domestic violence and sexual assault in 54 member countries of the Commonwealth. The campaign is being coordinated by the No More Foundation, the Commonwealth Secretariat, and the Commonwealth Secretariat.
Throughout her Instagram account, the actress provided information about the campaign in the form of different posts. "Hello, my name is Mahira Khan, and I'm an actress from Pakistan. I'd like to encourage you to 'join the chorus' and say 'no more to domestic and sexual abuse," Khan says in the first video she uploaded on her YouTube channel.
In the caption, it was said that "we either know someone who has suffered abuse or sexual/domestic violence or have personally seen it." "The more we speak out against domestic and sexual abuse, the more we shatter the silence around this issue."
The author said in a second post, "Let's shatter the culture of silence that has allowed domestic and sexual abuse to exist for so long."
In addition, the actor released the third video in connection with the campaign.
In accordance with the campaign's website, #JoinTheChorus "aims to raise public awareness of domestic and sexual abuse while also calling for collective action." The campaign is being led by artist FKA twigs, who is joined by well-known public figures such as Rose Byrne, Joselyn Dumas, Khan, and Thandiwe Newton in their efforts to end violence against women.
As many as 38 percent of all female homicides are perpetrated by a male intimate partner, according to global statistics. Per the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), "32 percent of Pakistani women have encountered physical violence, and 40 percent of ever-married women have suffered from marital abuse at some point in their lives (The Pakistan Demographic and Health Survey)" throughout their lifetime. It should be noted that these figures do not reflect the full extent of the number of instances of violence that occur. According to the United Nations Population Fund, "one in every two Pakistani women who have suffered abuse never sought assistance or informed anybody about the violence they had encountered."
