Board Members

Geneviève Gilbert of Pink Cross Foundation Australia

Geneviève Gilbert

Executive Director

Geneviève Gilbert is an artist, activist and founder of Pink Cross Australia. Born in Québec, Canada, she has a Bachelor of Visual Arts, a Masters of Communication (Interactive Media) and a Graduate Diploma in Multimedia. While undertaking her Masters, Geneviève entered prostitution to pay off her student debts. It was this experience – and the violence and trauma she suffered throughout it – that led her to create Pink Cross Foundation Australia. Read her story here.

Guided by Christian egalitarian principles and feminist theory framework, Pink Cross connects with, supports and informs people affected by commercial sexual exploitation, providing service referrals and non-judgmental, compassionate care. Geneviève believes that both parties in the prostitution cycle must be educated on its harm, in order to abolish the system. Thus, the organisation also supports and informs people who view pornography or purchase sexual access to a person’s body on the disadvantage, violence and exploitation behind the glamour.

Alexis Cullimore

General Board Member

Graduating with a Bachelor of Law in late 2023, I have a profound interest in international human sexual trafficking law and its practical application. My analytical thinking skills and drive to see a change within communities in need is what motivates me to take on this leadership role.

Given our current hypersexualised and violent media landscape, Pink Cross comes in with plans to disrupt that cultural push. I truly want to support them grow for this. I want to see people heal, change, and live healthy lives.

Making mental health access more available to those affected by commercial sexual exploitation is something very important to me. I want to make my career bold enough to stop violence against women and human rights abuse. We must educate for prevention, rehabilitate for health, and we MUST protect the children. If we don’t, who will?

Sol Vassia

Spanish Speaking Psychologist, Mental Health Therapist

I am an Argentinean psychologist registered to practice with citizens from Latin American countries. I work via telehealth with Spanish-speaking clients in Australian timezones. If you hold other citizenships, I can support you as a Mental Health Therapist.

I have 8 years of extensive training in the clinical field, specialising in the theoretical perspective of psychoanalysis. I approach individuals from a point of view which values their uniqueness, understanding that there are no one-size-fits-all solutions, or predefined steps to follow. I provide a safe space for the person to freely express and explore their concerns, without judgment or preconceived notions.

To me, true knowledge from oneself lies within the analysand. The analysand is you, Pink Cross’ future participant in our clinic’s practice, BeYourBest.
