S7E24 Meet NO MORE's CEO Pamela Zaballa

'When you look at it, in the bigger spectrum, we can talk about this [...] I mean, fifteen years ago, a high-schooler wouldn't be talking to you about consent.'

Pamela Zaballa has dedicated over 20 years to advancing support systems for victims of domestic and sexual violence. Her career spans various roles in the US and UK, including frontline services, shelter development, advocacy, children's services, and setting up programs for human trafficking victims. Pamela’s work also encompasses policy and communications, where she has developed multiple successful action-based campaigns.

As the Global Chief Executive of NO MORE, a foundation dedicated to ending domestic and sexual violence, Pamela has been a trailblazer in finding comprehensive solutions to gender-based violence. She has fostered strategic partnerships such as the development of Commonwealth Says NO MORE and consultancy services for various governments, international organizations, and global corporations, aiming to unify efforts against domestic and sexual violence. Notably, Pamela developed the NO MORE Global Directory—the first global directory providing contacts for domestic and sexual violence support in over 200 countries—and has worked on award-winning public awareness campaigns like #listeningfromhome, which gained extensive exposure during the COVID-19 pandemic.
