We are thrilled to announce that the incredible Madeleine West @msmadswest has joined Warriors Advocacy as an Ambassador, Advocate, Advisor, and Educator. Madeleine is a renowned actor, author, activist, podcaster, and mother. Her passion, inspiration, and unique experience as a survivor of child sexual abuse bring immense value to our cause. As a victim turned survivor, she has long advocated for an independent reporting apparatus. Advocacy is crucial to preventing child exploitation, creating a formidable deterrent, encouraging reporting, and optimising the chances of cases reaching a successful conclusion for those who have experienced abuse.

@warriorsadvocacy amplified the stories of those abused by institutions and assisted them in seeking recognition and compensation for their pain. Inspired by the life and tragic loss of Russell Manser, Madeleine will continue that legacy, helping victim-survivors reclaim their past as the face and voice of Warriors Advocacy. Her motivation is to shine a light on the abuse suffered by women and children in their homes and communities, acknowledging that victims can sometimes create other victims. She ensures that achieving an outcome is only worthwhile if it sets you on a path to make living with acknowledged trauma tolerable, so victims don’t just survive, they thrive!

If you have a story and want to reclaim your history, now is the time to seek justice.
