IN SHORT
As a young computer engineering student at Kenitra, Marwa Azelmat noticed how many female graduates never entered the workforce, instead marrying and staying at home. Caring deeply about gender inequality from a young age, Marwa decided to devote herself not to her subject of study but to helping women through technology and especially the internet. This path has already taken her far – all the way to the UN Headquarters in New York.
