Becca Bunce
TrusteeBecca Bunce’s work and research focus on how people with lived experience of inequalities participate in - and lead - social change. Becca is currently undertaking a PhD studentship in Public Policy and Design Thinking at King’s College London and UAL. Her PhD research explores how ‘lived experience’ is understood and applied by policy-makers.
Alongside her research, Becca is a trustee at John Ellerman Foundation and a policy and advocacy consultant. Her career began on the UK Civil Service Fast Stream before moving to work with NGOs and grassroots groups. She has an MA in Human Rights from the Institute of Commonwealth Studies.
Between 2014 -2019, Becca co-founded/co-directed the multi-award-winning and law-creating IC Change campaign. The campaign built a coalition of organisation and supporters calling on the UK government to ratify the Istanbul Convention on Violence Against Women.
Her work has received many accolades. Notably, she was cited as an inspiration by President Obama for her work on violence against women and disabled people's rights. In addition, Becca named as one of the 150 leading women in the University of London's history.
