A meeting with Caroline Voaden, former MEP for SW England and Gibraltar. Caroline led the Lib Dem list in the SW in the European elections in May 2019, following which she went on to lead the Lib Dem group in Brussels from November until the end of their mandate.
Before her election as an MEP Caroline worked as a Reuters journalist, a freelance editor and ran her own business in South Devon. Caroline’s work as a journalist led her to live in six European countries and she speaks several languages. Caroline worked in both English and French in the European Parliament.
Since 2020 Caroline has led one of the largest support services for survivors of sexual violence in the SW and campaigns for longer term funding and prevention work.
