Celia Davies oversees Moonshot’s interventions and safeguarding programming, with specialisms in CVE and GBV interventions and conflict-affected regions. She has led the development of multi-platform online interventions programmes in South East Asia, the Western Balkans, and North America, pioneering new ways to reach at-risk individuals online and connect them with local services. This has involved building partnerships with local civil society and social enterprises, as well as government prevention bodies and law enforcement. In her capacity as Director of Ethics she leads Moonshot’s internal ethics review processes, overseeing the ethical processes that underpin our work. Celia brings broad experience of working with local groups in complex locations with security challenges, including close to a decade in Russia, Ukraine, Azerbaijan, and Georgia, working on human rights, media development and counter-disinformation initiatives.
The Summit offers a unique opportunity to confront the corrosive influence of bigotry and hatred in our society. In order for us to address these challenges, we first must acknowledge their painful and destructive impact in our communities and in our country. I am grateful to serve as a Global Advisor to this timely and powerful initiative.
