The Board of Another Development Foundation are proud of announcing that Meghan Donevan, member of the board of ADF, has been elected president of the Coalition for the Abolition of Prostitution – CAP International.
Meg is a tremendous resource in our work, and we want to congratulate CAP International for electing her as their president.
These are her own words about the election:
”I’m so very honoured, proud and humbled to have been elected as president of the Coalition for the Abolition of Prostitution – CAP International.
CAP international is a coalition of 37 grassroots and survivor-led organisations across 29 countries, united by a shared goal: the abolition of the prostitution system. CAP International empowers its members to effectively support victim-survivors of prostitution and advocate for the adoption of national legislation and international standards.
Our impact is far-reaching, and our knowledge comes from the ground up: just last year, our 37 members supported 22,694 victim-survivors of prostitution.
I’ve been involved in CAP International as Talita’s representative (a CAP Intl member organization) for the past 7 years, and it’s been amazing to see all that we’ve accomplished over the years. I’m eager to help the coalition continue to translate its vision into reality.
My goal has always been to keep one foot in frontline realities and another in research, policy and advocacy—and to bring that work to a global level. Joining the board as president couldn’t be a more fitting home for this calling.
I also see this as a pivotal moment for our movement. The global prostitution system is rapidly shifting online and taking on new forms. The normalization of platforms like OnlyFans is happening at mass scale, and CAP’s cutting-edge analysis and unwavering commitment to ending all forms of prostitution are needed now more than ever.
Executive director Héma Sibi and I kicked off our first meeting together today, and I couldn’t be more excited to be working alongside such a brilliant and committed leader, the rest of our newly elected board, and our unstoppable 37 member organizations.
