Women in Technology: Mahliah's story from Yarim, Yemen
Mahliah Mohammed, 45, takes part in the Women in Technology (WIT) programme. She comes from Yarim, in Ibb governorate, Yemen.
She is married with 7 children: 4 girls and 3 boys. She married when she finished 6th grade.
Her husband's family did not allow her to finish school. They believe that education and work are not for women. They kept her at home doing housework.
They also began looking for husbands for her daughters, so that the girls would not continue their education.
