Searching for a co-founder for a non-profit tackling rape

IMPORTANT: You don't need to submit a CV. Please just write a short paragraph explaining why you are interested and how we can contact you

I’m the founder of That’s Still Rape, a non-profit challenging rape myths and their harmful impact on rape survivors. We use campaigns, media, and research to improve the public’s understanding of rape, tackle victim-blaming and debunk misinformation. Think of us as a cross between Shout Your Abortion, Hope Not Hate and the Good Law Project.

What we do:

1. Change the conversation – We run campaigns and media that challenge victim-blaming.
2. Publish research – We conduct research exposing the true scale of UK rape culture.
3. Reform policy – We fight for legal and policy changes to improve justice outcomes for survivors.

Check out our Instagram @thatsstillrape where we educate people on rape myths

So far we have:

• Created the UK's first media guidelines on how to responsibly report rape
• Partnered with the CPS on a series of Q&A videos
• Launched a petition for mandatory jury training on rape myths (10,000+ signatures)

Co-founder role:

We’re at a critical moment of growth and I’m looking for a co-founder to help scale the organisation. Together we’ll:

• Lead digital and guerrilla campaigns (petitions, rallies, research papers, billboards, and videos)
• Lead fundraising efforts (donors, grants etc.)
• Establish relationships with MPs/policymakers
• Act as a public face for the org in interviews and events, while building relationships with journalists
• Build and manage a small team (initially volunteers)
• Build internal systems and structures to support operations

Who I'm looking for:

It would be great if you had some of the following - but its not necessary:

• A track record of building things (teams, platforms, movements) from the ground up
• Experience securing funding from the public, trusts or foundations
• A network of contacts across media, campaigns or advocacy spaces
• Your digitally savvy and know how to mobilise communities online
• Knowledge of the UK political and media landscape

Thank you
