    Violence Against Women and Girls is one of the most prevalent human rights violations in the world.

    • 1 in 4 women in the UK will experience domestic violence in their lifetime. Globally this is 1 in 3.
    • Every year 400,000 women are sexually assaulted in the UK and 80,000 women are raped.
    • In 2014, 1,432 women were identified as potential victims of trafficking in the UK. Of these 653 were trafficked for sexual exploitation.
    • 2 women are murdered by their partners or ex-partners per week.
    • 750,000 children witness domestic violence each year.

    AVA is an expert, ground-breaking charity working across the UK to address this immense challenge. We provide training & consultancy to frontline charities that deal with survivors and those experiencing violence on a daily basis. Our mission is to end gender-based violence through policy, research and prevention work.

    As a trustee, my role is to ensure the charity works in the best interests of its mission and beneficiaries and:

    ● has a clear vision, mission, values and strategy with measurable objectives.

    ● operates in an accountable, transparent manner and always complies with the law.

    ● manages its finances well and according to funder requirements.

    I became Chair in Sep-17 and was then accountable for leading the board of trustees - ensuring its effective governance - and supporting the Chief Executive in the efficient running of the organisation. I am particularly proud of the work AVA delivered during my tenure and of the growth and stability that was achieved - particularly during extremely challenging and uncertain times.

    I stepped away from the Chair role in Sep-22 but remained on the board as a trustee until the organisation closed in February 2024.

    I feel very grateful to have spent nearly a decade supporting a wonderful charity that has done to much to help women and girls around the UK.
