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 as well as in Asia, South America and Europe, and 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 has become a multi award winning story teller, professional speaker, leadership, resilience and diversity consultant, 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 share with her audience.
Her core purpose is the pursuit of 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. She has been privileged to work around the globe with some of the most prominent political, business and community leaders whilst still calling Australia home.
And Rabia’s biggest challenge and joy is being a mother to her teenage triplet boys!
