Speaking topics.

Yasmin tailors each talk to the audience and the occasion. The themes below are starting points; specific framing and content are agreed in advance with the booker.

i

Violence against women and girls: the systems that protect, and the systems that fail.

Drawing on two terms as National Advisor to the Welsh Government, two decades of frontline charity work, and her contribution to the cultural review of the London Fire Brigade, Yasmin examines what works in protecting women and girls, what fails, and what needs to change.

ii

Honour-based abuse and forced marriage: hidden harms and what they teach us.

The Halo Project has spent fifteen years building the UK’s leading specialist response to honour-based abuse, forced marriage, and FGM. Yasmin examines what these harms reveal about the wider system, and what statutory provision still needs to change.

iii

Lessons from the first police super-complaint in UK history.

In 2020 Yasmin authored the first super-complaint ever made under the police super-complaints system, exposing widespread failures in the investigation of sexual abuse. She speaks about how it was built, received, and what its implementation reveals about reform inside policing.

iv

Building specialist provision: the Halo Project story.

From founding a small specialist service in the North East to leading a national charity, Yasmin tells the story of how the Halo Project was built, what it took to sustain, and what it teaches about specialist provision for minoritised communities.

v

Equality, diversity, and inclusion in practice.

Drawing on sixteen years of running the EDI Awards, her work as International EDI Lead at Teesside University, and her career across policing, government, and the charity sector, Yasmin examines what EDI looks like when it is doing real work rather than ornamental work.

vi

Leadership from outside the room.

A reflective talk on building authority and influence without inherited access. Yasmin draws on her own career, from a small voluntary role in Middlesbrough to a Welsh Government National Advisor appointment, to examine what it takes to be heard inside institutions not designed for you.
