Candidate Statement
I’m applying for the Young Greens’ International Officer because I believe I have the knowledge, experience and passion to be successful in this role.
I’ve built a strong knowledge of global issues through working and volunteering with international charities such as UNICEF, Opportunity International and African Initiatives, mainly focussing on gender issues.
Having recently graduated from SOAS in Environment, Politics and Development, I’ve been able to combine my experience, passion for tackling inequality and concern for the future of our planet. My dissertation considered what an intersectional, international feminist degrowth might look like.
Over the last 6 months I have had the opportunity to co-chair the London Young Greens, working alongside Sian’s mayoral team to develop her youth policies. In this role, I was able to lead a campaign on the Tigray Crisis, creating a partnership with the Tigray Youth Network, hosting an event with Natalie Bennett and representing the Green Party during their peaceful protest at Speakers’ Corner. I hope to continue raising awareness of the crisis as International Officer alongside the important campaign work we must do in the build up to COP-26 to ensure the UK supports low and middle income countries to tackle the climate crisis.
I always look to bring energy and passion to my work and hope to do so in this role.
