Madeleine West

Victims Advocate, Media Lead and Expert Speaker

Madeleine West is a powerful voice for child advocacy, online safety, and the protection of survivors of childhood sexual abuse. Her work is informed by lived experience, relentless curiosity, and a deep instinct for what needs to change. She brings urgency, compassion, and clarity to some of the most complex and confronting issues of our time.

Known for her ability to cut through noise and take purposeful action, Madeleine doesn’t just speak truth to power, she moves it. Her path has been anything but predictable, shaped by moments of disruption, transformation, and a fierce desire to protect those who are too often overlooked or silenced.

With a strong internal compass, she leads by example: researching deeply, questioning boldly, and acting only when her instincts say yes. She doesn't wait for permission or ideal conditions, she responds to what’s real, what’s broken, and what urgently needs to be rebuilt.

Madeleine is especially driven by a desire to create practical, systemic change. Whether advocating for stronger digital protections, building education around child safety, or amplifying the voices of survivors, she brings a unique combination of emotional strength, strategic insight, and lived wisdom.

Her work reminds us that safety isn't a luxury, it’s a human right. And that true change often comes not from comfort, but from courage.

“I didn’t choose the easy path. I chose the one where I could make a difference. Every setback taught me something worth sharing, every challenge shaped the way I lead.”
