The Stronger Than Silence Foundation is looking for passionate, compassionate people to help us break the silence around sexual violence — and fight for the justice survivors deserve.
Our ambassadors come from all walks of life. What unites them is a belief that silence is not an option — and that every survivor deserves to be heard.
MP for Birmingham Yardley & Former Minister for Safeguarding
Elected MP for Birmingham Yardley in 2015, Jess Phillips has spent her career fighting for those who need it most. Before entering Parliament she worked for Women's Aid in the West Midlands, developing services for survivors of domestic abuse, sexual violence, human trafficking and exploitation. As a Birmingham City Councillor from 2012, she became the city's first ever Victims Champion.
Following Labour's return to government in July 2024, Jess was appointed Minister for Safeguarding and Violence Against Women and Girls — overseeing the landmark VAWG Strategy published in 2025, which committed the government to halving violence against women and girls by 2034. She resigned from the frontbench in May 2025 and returned to the backbenches, where she continues to speak up for survivors, victims and the marginalised.
A bestselling author of four books — Let's Be Honest, Everywoman, Truth to Power and My Life as an MP — Jess has built a reputation for plain speaking and courage. She will never stop calling out injustice or amplifying the voices of those society too often ignores.

Apply to Be an AmbassadorThere is no single mould. Ambassadors contribute in whatever way feels right for them — from a single social media post to speaking at events. You set your own boundaries.
Help us reach more people by sharing the foundation's work on social media, in your community, or through your networks.
You are never obligated to share anything personal. But if you have lived experience and feel ready, your voice — even anonymously — can be transformative for other survivors.
Attend events, speak at schools or community groups, or simply start conversations that challenge silence around sexual violence.
Help us push for systemic change — supporting campaigns for judicial accountability, survivor rights, and stronger protections.
Help us raise the funds that make grants possible — from sponsored events to online campaigns.
You will never be asked to share your personal experience publicly. If you have lived experience of sexual violence and feel ready to share — even anonymously — we will support you to do so safely and on your own terms. Many of our most powerful advocates choose to remain anonymous, and that is always respected.
