Rebecca Tallon de Hallivand - Éist Ambassador

We are deeply honoured to welcome Rebecca Tallon de Havilland as an Ambassador for Éist Saying No to Silence.

Rebecca is a trailblazer, advocate and powerful voice for justice, inclusion and human dignity. As Ireland's first openly transgender television presenter, she has used her platform with courage and compassion - speaking out for trans and LGBTQ+ communities, people living with HIV, and victims and survivors of sexual violence.

Rebecca's journey has been marked by extraordinary resilience. In the face of immense personal challenges, she has continued to stand tall, not only fighting for her own right to live authentically, but helping countless others find the strength to do the same. Her advocacy has opened doors, challenged stigma, and reminded so many people that they are not alone.

At Éist, our mission is to create safer spaces, amplify voices that have too often been silenced, and encourage the difficult but necessary conversations that lead to change. Rebecca embodies these values wholeheartedly.

Having her join us as an Ambassador is both a privilege and a responsibility we hold with great pride. We are inspired by her courage, we learn from her wisdom, and we are proud to stand alongside her as we continue our work together.
