Aden was born in Somalia, and became an orphan at the age of four. She was illiterate, and immigrated to Norway through family reunification[2] as a thirteen-year-old in 1996, after living as a street child for seven years.[3] She struggled at first with the meeting of another culture, child protection and other public services which she claims were unable to help her. She ended up in the drug environment in the Oslo city district of Grønland, and lived on the streets of the same city periodically.[4]
Today however, she is self-employed and works as an interpreter for the police, schools and other instances, as well as being an advisor and lecturer for municipalities and other instances.[3] She is the mother of two twins and since 2002 she has lived in Hønefoss.
