She trained with the Libyan military, earning the rank of Lieutenant Colonel. However, according to Libyan civilians, Ayesha did not merit such a high rank and was afforded that honor solely because she is Gaddafi's daughter.
Ayesha Gaddafi was appointed as the United Nations Development Program National Goodwill Ambassador for Libya on 24 July 2009, primarily to address the issues of HIV/AIDS, poverty and women's rights in Libya, all of which are culturally sensitive topics in the country. In February 2011 the United Nations stripped Ayesha of her role as a goodwill ambassador.
Ayesha is also the head of the charity Wa Attassimou, which defended Muntadhar al-Zaidi when he faced charges stemming from the shoe-hurling incident.
She was placed under a travel ban on 26 February 2011, under United Nations Security Council Resolution 1970.
Ayesha sued NATO over the bombing of a building in Gaddafi's compound that allegedly killed her brother, Saif al-Arab Muammar al-Gaddafi, and her own infant daughter among the three grandchildren of her father's who were killed. She claims the attack was illegal, as it was a civilian building. Gaddafi's lawyers filed the petitions in Brussels and Paris in June 2011.
However, on 27 July it was reported that Belgian prosecutors declined to investigate the war crimes complaint filed by Gaddafi against NATO (whose headquarters are in Belgium), saying that their country's universal competence law (which requires an establishment of a connection between the complaint and Belgium) does not apply in the case.
As the Battle for Tripoli reached a climax in mid-August, the Gaddafi family were forced to abandon their fortified compound. On 22 August 2011, Libyan rebels captured her house in the Battle of Tripoli. Among her possessions was a huge golden sofa shaped like a mermaid, with the face of Aisha designed by an Egyptian artist. Also found were large quantities of liquor bottles in spite of the fact her father had decreed that Libyan citizens are not allowed to own or drink alcohol. On 27 August, it was reported by the Egyptian news agency Mena that Libyan rebel fighters had seen six armoured Mercedes-Benz sedans, possibly carrying top Gaddafi regime figures, cross the border at the south-western Libyan town of Ghadames towards Algeria, which at the time was denied by the Algerian authorities. On 29 August, the Algerian government officially announced that Safia Farkash together with Ayesha and her brothers Muhammad and Hannibal, had crossed into Algeria early on Monday 29 August. An Algerian Foreign Ministry official said all the people in the convoy were now in Algiers, and that none of them had been named in warrants issued by the International Criminal Court for possible war crimes charges. Mourad Benmehidi, the Algerian permanent representative to the United Nations, later confirmed the details of the statement. The family had arrived at a Sahara desert entry point, in a Mercedes and a bus at 8:45 a.m. local time. The exact number of people in the party was unconfirmed, but there were "many children" and they did not include Colonel Gaddafi. The group was allowed in on humanitarian grounds, because Ayesha was pregnant and near her term. The Algerian government had since informed the head of the Libyan National Transitional Council. Libya's rebels said sheltering Gaddafi family members was an act of aggression, and called for their extradition. On 30 August it was announced that Ayesha had given birth to a baby girl in the town of Djanet. They are now reportedly living in a luxury villa in Staoueli near Algiers provided by the Algerian government. They were transported to Algiers from Djanet by a private jet also provided by the Algerian government.
