I was born into Apartheid in South Africa (SA), where for 25 years I was an activist for the liberation movement (ANC). I left SA as a refugee and was granted political asylum in the UK in the early 1980s. I use my experience to work with excluded communities worldwide, telling my story in classrooms, workplaces and boardrooms. I particularly enjoy presenting at Assemblies in schools, giving children an opportunity to question me directly about what Apartheid South Africa was like. I speak English, Afrikaans and some French. Professionally I started out as a nurse and midwife; then qualified as a lawyer and practised criminal law (mostly political trials) in South Africa for several years. After settling in London, I worked as commercial lawyer. When my then husband had a very severe stroke I stopped work to look after him full time and when he died I took up a position as an Associate Director in the National Health Service (NHS), UK, specialising in engagement and inclusion. In 2013 I founded I Protect Me (www.IProtectMeSouthAfrica.org), an organisation which empowers women and children in South Africa to speak out and stand up against abuse. See www.MonicaClarke.website
