Praxis welcomes new CEO
We are delighted to announce that Minnie Rahman has been appointed the new Chief Executive Officer at Praxis, following the retirement of Sally Daghlian OBE. Minnie will lead Praxis into its next phase, continuing to strengthen our services for migrants and develop our strategic advocacy plans so that we are speaking up for migrants rights.
Minnie was most recently the Chief Coordinator for Grenfell Testimony Week in 2024, and previously held a variety of senior positions at the Joint Council for the Welfare of Immigrants including Interim Chief Executive, where she led on strategic advocacy with decision makers and sector partners. Minnie is an active spokesperson for migrants rights, and experienced with empowering people with lived experience to gain the skills, expertise and confidence to champion their own cause.
“I am delighted to be able to build on the amazing achievements of Praxis, and to have the opportunity to lead a brilliant team of staff, volunteers and campaigners so that we can collectively call for change to the migration system. I am excited to work with and champion Praxis’ innovative, experienced and dedicated peer support network, so that their experiences and views are central to the fight for migrants rights.”

“I am excited to pass on the baton to Minnie Rahman! I know that Minnie’s knowledge of migration issues, her sector networks, her strong commitment to social justice and her vision and values will enable her to lead Praxis successfully into the next phase of its life, championing justice for migrants in the UK.”
