Email Profile Print Profile

Rabia is an international criminal and human rights lawyer, former senior British Army officer, hostage and abuse survivor, global change maker and trail blazer.

She was decorated by the late Queen Elizabeth II for her humanitarian work in the Middle East and has also undertakwn similar work in Asia, South America and Europe. She became well known for having successfully sued the British Armed Forces and Government for discrimination in a landmark case in 2008.

Rabia is the author of the best selling book “Equal Justice – My Journey as a Woman, a Soldier and a Muslim” and more recently has become a multi award winning story teller, professional speaker, leadership, resilience and diversity consultant, non-executive board member, philanthropist, media commentator and advocate for women, children and our most marginalised communities.

Through her professional experience as an international lawyer, senior executive, military leader, board director and trusted mentor, and her lived experience as a humanitarian worker and trauma survivor, Rabia brings unique perspectives to her work like no other.

Her core purpose is the pursuit of multi-sector reform, cultural change, and leadership transformation, in order to combat one of the biggest crises of our time – the erosion of trust – in our institutions, organisations and leaders.

Rabia is driven to serve, empower and inspire leaders to earn and build trust; by fostering greater resilience, integrity, inclusion and belonging. This is the key to enhancing leadership and organisational credibility and ensuring sustainable success.

Testimonials

Rabia's presentation was well researched, and eloquently delivered, with humour and emotion and the message she delivered was clear and engrossing, receiving many positive comments from our guests. The courage she has shown in her tenacity and fortitude in her pursuit for justice and equal rights for women is admirable, and women in particular will benefit from her experiences which show the female gender should not be silenced in the face of adversity and lack of fairness.

Rabia is a truly interesting and engaging speaker. Her personal and professional achievements are extraordinary and an inspiration for young women everywhere. In my view, Rabia's unique experiences as a Legal Officer in the British Army, and the courage and determination she showed in fighting to achieve equal treatment irrespective of her gender, should be shared widely. Rabia provides a powerful example of what an individual can do to fight for equality and ensure that discrimination, in all of its forms, is eradicated.
