Mahira Khan, the leading lady of the Pakistani media industry, has been in cahoots with No More Foundation, The Commonwealth, and GentleForces to surge the awareness of domestic and sexual violence.
According to the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), One in two Pakistani women who have experienced violence never sought help or told anyone about the violence they had experienced.
The campaign has been initiated under the banner of #JoinTheChorus and Mahira will be the voice in Pakistan to prevent domestic and sexual violence in 54 member countries of the Commonwealth.

Taking to her Instagram handle, Mahira Khan shared the campaign details and asked her followers to be more vocal about the cause.
“The more we speak up, the more we break the silence surrounding domestic and sexual violence”, she wrote in the caption.
In another post, Mahira shared a video that explains the message of the campaign.
“Home is not a safe place for everyone. Together, we can help free those harmed by domestic and sexual violence”, she wrote.
Back in 2017, Mahira Khan played the leading role in Shoaib Mansoor’s Verna opposite Haroon Shahid, Zarrar Khan, and Naimal Khawar.
The script revolves around a couple’s married life which falls apart when the wife (Mahira) was kidnapped and raped while defending her sister-in-law (Naimal Khawar).
Therefore, Mahira Khan is the perfect pick to campaign for sexual and domestic violence.
