Ait Daoud graduated with a pharmacology degree in 1998 before working as an assistant in a pharmacy store. In 2005 she opened a sandwich shop in Antwerp.[1][2][3]
In 2012, she was elected as a municipal councillor in Antwerp for the N-VA and a year later was appointed by Bart De Wever as deputy mayor and an alderman for the city.[4][5][6][7] During her time as an alderman, she planned to make Antwerp the first low emissions city in Belgium and despite coming from a Muslim background, has campaigned for a ban on non-stun slaughter in the city, arguing that “religion should not be a reason to make an animal suffer.”[8][9][10]
In 2014, she unsuccessfully stood for the N-VA during the 2014 European parliament election but in 2018 was reelected as a councilor in Antwerp and resumed her position as alderman.[11]
Since 2017, she has served as a board member for the Port Authority of Antwerp and as a director at the University of Antwerp.[12]
