Conversations from #LIFI25: Rachel Williams
Our #LIFI25 speaker series continues with Rachel Williams, a leading campaigner and survivor who has dedicated her life to raising awareness of domestic abuse and supporting others through advocacy and action.
Rachel joins the “Why do we need to talk about domestic abuse?” panel at this year’s festival, bringing her personal story and years of campaigning to a vital conversation that challenges silence, stigma, and inaction.
In this interview, Rachel shares why these conversations matter, what progress has been made, and what still needs to change. Her voice is both powerful and urgent — offering an unmissable preview of what’s to come on the festival stage this September.
