It’s even harder when you tell those that are close to you and they are supposed to protect you, yet they do nothing. I have been there too and it hurts like hell. But I want these survivors to know it is truly liberating and completely worth it. Do not let the nonbelievers stop you. This is your truth. Do not ever be afraid to speak your truth. Do not let this opportunity pass you. This is a moment that has been long overdue for all of us. This is your chance to be heard and finally obtain justice. I believe you.”

She also congratulated Tanushree Dutta for initiating this movement in India. She also posted a video with the caption: No Means No, where she explains the importance of consent and true essence of this movement.

Somy was briefly associated with Hindi film industry before she finally moved abroad. It is great how survivors have found voice to talk about this important issue.
