Nimco Ali ({{lang-so|Nimco Cali}}) is a Somali social activist and independent training consultant. She is a co-founder and the Director of the Daughters of Eve non-profit organization.

Personal life

Ali was born between 1982 and 1983 in Somalia. When she was four, her family moved to Manchester, England, where she was raised.[1][2] She has four brothers, one of whom, Mohamed, is chair of the Somali Conservatives.[3]

For her post-secondary education, Ali attended the University of the West of England, Bristol.[4]

Career

Ali previously worked as a civil servant. She also served as a women's rights activist and an independent training consultant for a number of years.[4]

In 2010, Ali along with psychotherapist Leyla Hussein founded Daughters of Eve.[1][5] The non-profit organization was established to help young women and girls, with a focus on providing education and raising awareness on female genital mutilation (FGM).[6] Ali underwent the procedure at age seven at a hospital in Djibouti while on vacation with her family.[1][7] She later suffered health complications and had to undergo reconstructive surgery.[8] The experience and meeting other females who had been incised inspired her to assist at risk girls and to call for the practice's eradication.[1][2]

Additionally, Ali served as a Network Coordinator for the End FGM/C Social Change Campaign. She has also written extensively on national gender rights.[4]

On 18 April 2015, Ali spoke at one of the early meetings of a new political party, the Women's Equality Party.[9]

Awards

In 2014, Ali and Hussein received a community/charity award at the 2014 Red Magazine Woman of the Year awards for their work with Daughters of Eve.[6] They also placed sixth in the Woman's Hour Power List 2014.[5] She was named one of BBC's 100 Women during 2018.[10]

On International Women's Day 2019 it was announced that the 2019 Geneva Summit for Human Rights and Democracy’s International Women’s Rights Award would be awarded to Ali for her "approach to ending FGM by offering holistic support to survivors of the practice".[11]

Political activity

Ali has said that she stopped supporting the Labour Party after Jeremy Corbyn became leader, however Ali had appeared on a Liberal Democrat leaflet prior to Corbyns Labour leadership.[12] At the 2017 general election, Ali contested the seat of Hornsey and Wood Green[13] in North London for the Women's Equality Party. Nimco polled 551 votes (0.9%),[14] finishing in 5th place out of the 8 candidates that stood and losing her deposit.[15]

In summer 2018, she applied to be the Conservative Party candidate for the 2020 London Mayoral election,[16] but she was not shortlisted.
