So, Who Is Senator Mobina?

Born in Kampala, Uganda on August 20, 1949 (74yrs ago), Senator Mobina represents the province of British Columbia in the Senate of Canada. Appointed to the Senate on June 13, 2001, by Prime Minister Jean Chretien, she is the first Muslim senator, the first African-born senator, and the first senator of South Asian descent.

After spending almost a decade with the Standing Senate Committee on Human Rights, Senator Mobina had the opportunity to chair a number of studies including one on the sexual exploitation of children in Canada and the need for national action. A champion of Canada’s linguistic bilingualism, she advocates measures to advance the use of English and French in communities across Canada. As public safety has assumed a significant place in national debate and policy, Senator Mobina raised awareness on the abuse of profiling in counter terrorism measures and the fundamental imperative to respect privacy, Human Rights, and the rule of law. Communities are at the heart of any successful policy initiative and progress; Senator Mobina works to engage communities in protecting Human Rights, celebrating Canada’s diversity, and promoting progress.

Senator Mobina served as Canada’s Special Envoy for Peace in Sudan from 2002 to 2006. From 2002 to 2005, she chaired the Canadian Committee on Women, Peace, and Security. Mobina is often invited to speak at International conferences on security issues and the United Nations Security Council Resolution 1325, which “urges all actors to increase the participation of women and incorporate gender perspectives in all United Nations peace and security efforts” and “calls on all parties to conflict to take special measures to protect women and girls from gender-based violence, particularly rape and other forms of sexual abuse, in situations of armed conflict.” As a grandmother, women’s rights and children’s rights are central to Senator Mobina’s advocacy.

An accomplished lawyer, Senator Mobina has practiced law at the firm Dohm, Jaffer and Jeraj since 1978. Appointed a Queen’s Counsel in 1998, Mobina was the first Ugandan-South Asian woman to practice law in Canada and she has a distinguished record of service to the legal profession.

The Women’s Executive Network named her among Canada’s Top 100 Most Powerful Women in 2003 and 2004. In 2003, she received an Honorary Doctorate from Open Learning University.

Senator Mobina earned a Bachelor of Laws from London University in London, England in 1972. She has also completed the Executive Development program at Simon Fraser University in British Columbia. She’s linguistic by nature, who speaks six languages with ease. Mobina is married with two adult children and two grandchildren.
