Jill Saward (14 January 1965 – 5 January 2017[2]), also known by her married name Jill Drake, was an English campaigner on issues relating to sexual violence.
She was the victim of a violent robbery and rape in 1986 at a vicarage in Ealing, London, a crime for which the perpetrators' relatively lenient sentences led indirectly to changes in the law. Saward was the first rape victim in Britain to waive her right to anonymity.[3]
