She is a co-founder of AdvocAid and leads the access to justice programme for the Elders Foundation (founded by Nelson Mandela). Tune in for real life stories involving the deprivation of access to justice and true inspiration around carving a career path based on passion and purpose.
What an inspiring woman Sabrina Mahtani is - words cannot do her justice. Sabrina is a British/Zambian human rights lawyer specialising in women’s rights and social justice. She is so humble, courageous, uplifting and intelligent and is a truly inspiring female leader who’s in it for the greater good.
Sabrina’s experience has involved working for the Rwandan war crimes tribunal, legal aid in Zambia and death row in Sierra Leone.
Sabrina is particularly passionate about helping women who have been unjustly criminalised as the result of patriarchal and archaic systems. One way she helps these women is via AdvocAid, an NGO that she founded with 3 other women which helps girls and women within the legal system of Sierra Leone. Amongst many notable accomplishments, AdvocAid has helped free 6 women from death row.
Even beyond Sabrina’s day to day work, she is an admirable pioneer for female leadership and improved opportunities and access for black and ethnic minority people into the legal profession.
This episode is for those truly curious about real life stories of injustice, trials and triumphs. Sit back with an open heart and get ready to be inspired!
