Biography

Rabia is an international humanitarian lawyer, retired British Army senior officer, former war crimes and terrorism prosecutor, hostage survivor and leadership consultant.

She has undertaken humanitarian aid work in Asia, South America, Europe and the Middle East, for which she was decorated by Her Majesty the late Queen Elizabeth II.

She brought a landmark discrimination case against the British Government and Armed Forces, and, amongst other high profile cases, has coordinated class actions for victims of human rights abuses in Iraq as well as representing the family of Rauda Athif, a murdered medical student in Bangladesh, the families of the Christchurch Mosque attack victims at the Royal Commission into the response to the attacks, and facilitated negotiations between First Nations groups and members of the offshore petroleum and green gas industry.

Rabia’s best selling memoir “Equal Justice: My Journey as a Woman, a Soldier and a Muslim” was published by Pan MacMillan in 2013 and there is interest in adapting this to a movie. Equal Justice opened doors to a second and parallel career for Rabia.  She is now a multi award winning storyteller, inspirational speaker, leadership, resilience and cultural change consultant, media commentator and human rights advocate. She is also a board member and ambassador of several not for profit organisations.

But her biggest challenge and joy is being a mother to her teenage triplet sons!

Testimonials

We’re still shivering! Impactful doesn’t come close. Rabia was amazing, truly inspiring and the best speaker I have ever heard.

Events and Marketing Manager, Canadian Human Resources Management Association

Rabia’s presentation was inspirational. In the business context, we often talk about the importance of composure, keeping the goal in mind and making a difference. To see this brought to life in a real-world context where lives are at stake is both humbling and inspirational. It helps put things back into context. Rabia had everyone in the palm of her hand, truly riveted. She is quite simply the best speaker I have ever experienced.

General Manager, Oceania, Coca Cola South Pacific

This presentation was off the charts. Rabia is my new superhero! I found her messages to be inspirational on a professional and personal level. Without a doubt the most outstanding presentation at any conference I have attended.

President, New Zealand Law Society
