Molly Hanning is a sexual violence activist, studying undergraduate politics at Royal Holloway University of London. She is the founder and project manager of Academics Against Assault, a non profit organisation committed to the expansion of consent education and sex-positive conversations across Universities. During further education at Sweyne Park Sixth Form, Molly worked within the student leadership team to facilitate a virtual induction and a transition of nearly 400 new pupils to Year 7 and the Sixth Form. Additionally, she assisted with the remodelling and renovation of a staff office into a safe-space, wellbeing room following the reintegration of students into schools following the Coronavirus pandemic in 2019 and 2020.After facing sexual violence in her first year at University, Molly continues to candidly share her experience with consent, the patriarchy and speaks openly on feminist issues on her podcast 'A Girl's Gravy.' This incident equally drove Molly to found 'Academics Against Assault' in her second year, and is currently managing a project which aims to co-create a compulsory consent module with Royal Holloway in 2023. Academics Against Assault is further looking to expand to other Universities around the UK, strategise a separate support network for male students who face sexual violence, improve well-being communities around Universities, and educate students on rape-culture and structural and systemic violence against women. In addition Molly enjoyed leading an extensive number of societies and events, notably as President of The Royal Holloway University Feminist Society in 2021-22, and as the Stage Manager of a 'School of Rock' production in 2020. She has also represented academic institutions as both a student and subject ambassador. These roles, combined with her professional experience, have equipped Molly with a variety of skills in social media management, recruitment, strategising, communication and leadership.
