I am Mona Adam, the Green Party parliamentary candidate for Kensington and Bayswater constituency, I have lived in several countries and multi-cultural communities.

I was educated in Saudi Arabia where I studied sociology at King Saudi University. I later worked for the British Council, where I was responsible for establishing and running a Women's Centre.

Since moving to the UK, I have worked with several NGOs liaising with different agencies to implement policies and establish a rehabilitation centre that combats human trafficking.
