Natasha Saunders is a powerful keynote speaker, campaigner, and consultant, known for her compelling advocacy against domestic abuse and violence against women and girls. Drawing on her lived experience, she delivers impactful talks that are both moving and motivational. Her most significant achievement to date is playing a central role in the legal reform under the Domestic Abuse Act 2021, which criminalised threats to share intimate images.
Natasha’s journey began in unimaginable adversity. For eight years, she was subjected to sexual, physical, emotional, economic, and technological abuse, as well as coercive control by her ex-husband. In 2018, her abuser was found guilty of multiple serious offences and sentenced to 12 years in prison. This experience became the foundation of her mission to be the voice she once needed. With a professional background in PR and branding, Natasha has used her skills to build a platform for change, determined to show what can be achieved when society responds effectively to abuse. Her message, rooted in survival and transformation, resonates with audiences from all walks of life.
Natasha’s career is marked by impactful achievements and national recognition. She was instrumental in the #TheNakedThreat campaign, which directly contributed to changes in UK law. She has worked alongside Refuge, the Metropolitan Police, and Chelsea Football Club, raising over £500,000 for domestic abuse survivors during the COVID-19 lockdown. She has delivered bespoke training and lived experience talks to over 7,000 Metropolitan Police officers and worked with numerous FTSE 100 companies, beauty brands like Avon and Benefit, and government bodies. Natasha has appeared across major media outlets including BBC News, Sky News, Refinery29, The Huffington Post, ITV News, and Cosmopolitan. She also fronted a BBC Radio 4 programme, which is being turned into an audiobook, and has collaborated with influential figures such as Olivia Colman and Baroness Nicky Morgan in her campaigning.

Official Feedback from In-Person & Virtual Events
Feedback from In-Person Events:
"Natasha visited HMP Bronzefield and spoke very openly and honestly about her past and her journey up to today. She spoke to the prisoners about her life, the darkest times and how she pushed through and overcame adversity to get to where she is today. The prisoners were moved and visibly emotional to hear about her life as this clearly resonated with some of them. Her directness, sincerity and endearing personality all engaged the prisoners, and they listened and more importantly, felt every word. As this was for International Women’s Day, it was important for the female prisoners to see a strong woman stand up and show how you overcome your past and that life isn’t over, regardless of the struggles and mistakes made." - Rob, Regimes Manager Justice Services, HMP Bronzefield
