Rabha El Haymar (Arabic: رابحة الحيمر) is a Moroccan activist who campaigns for the rights of illegitimate children.

A film of her campaign by Deborah Perkin was shown on Moroccan TV and the resulting acclaim led to her recognition as an International Woman of Courage in 2024.

[1] El Haymar set out to address this and this was encouraged by the Moroccan 2004 family code introduced by King Mohammed VI.

[1] El Haymar's action and her willingness to stand up as an unmarried mother was recognised in 2024 when she became an International Woman of Courage (IWOC).

[1] After the IWOC ceremony the awardees are invited to take part in the State department's International Visitor Leadership Program where they meet each other and others interested in their work.
