Vicki is an expert speaker renowned for her dedication to breaking barriers in the field of human rights law. As a human rights lawyer, independent human rights consultant, career coach, academic and sometime speechwriter, Vicki empowers individuals to overcome career obstacles and amplifies the voices of people in prison.

Vicki’s experiences with people in prison worldwide have fueled her mission to break down barriers that hinder human rights progress. She shares compelling stories that highlight the importance of putting human rights at the forefront of discussions. Whether advocating on behalf of an elderly British woman in prison in Japan to receive necessary medical care or supporting a hunger-striking prisoner in Algeria, Vicki’s heartfelt narratives inspire audiences to take action, think differently and remain committed to their human rights work. Her message is clear: human rights do not stop at the prison gate and breaking barriers is essential for creating a just and equitable world.
If you want Vicki to inspire your audience to break barriers, deepen their understanding of a career in human rights and stand up for what is right, book her for your next event, conference or careers fair. Vicki is committed to making critical, often overlooked themes part of the mainstream conversation.
