“Acting is entertainment, sure, but it’s also an opportunity to educate,” says our digital cover star Saffron Hocking. “I want to challenge misconceptions with the parts I play. There’s no one way that abuse presents itself, there’s no typical victim.”
As an acclaimed actor and ambassador for anti-domestic violence organisation @Refugecharity, @saffronhocking has shone a light on the complexities of abuse. Changing how TV and film depicts domestic violence is vital, but actual on-the-ground education is also key.
That’s why Refuge and Cosmopolitan are backing @makeitmandatory’s campaign to extend and mandate Relationships and Sex Education to students aged 16-19.
At the link in bio, Saffron talks about her journey so far, her best female friendships, and championing change for women on and off screen.

My heart could burst with love 😩 thank you to my beautiful friends and family for celebrating with me.

Also @decimo.london @thestandardlondon you’re spectacular ❤️
