Rhiannon-Faye McDonald
Member of the Brave Movement’s SAGE (Survivor Advocates Globally Empowered – advisory board); and Head of Advocacy at the Marie Collins Foundation.
Rhiannon-Faye has lived experience of technology-assisted child sexual abuse, which resulted in her being the victim of both online and offline sexual abuse when she was 13 years old. Wanting to use this experience to protect other children and support fellow victims and survivors, she began working alongside the Marie Collins Foundation in 2017.
She began speaking publicly to share her knowledge. She shares her lived experience with young people, parents, and professionals, helping to increase awareness and understanding of the impacts of Technology-Assisted Child Sexual Abuse and promoting the need for better support for victims to help their recovery journey.
She joined the MCF staff team in 2019 and is now the Head of Advocacy, co-ordinating the Lived Experience Group and advocating and campaigning to improve outcomes for victims and their families.
"I am proud to be part of the Brave Movement because I want victims and survivors around the world to see that they are not alone and not powerless - we have power and influence in our collective voices and we are fighting, both with them and for them, to end child sexual abuse."
