In Somalia, women engineers are breaking barriers and defying stereotypes in the male-dominated construction industry.

However, attitudes are slowly changing, with more parents supporting their daughters in pursuing careers in engineering.

Despite facing sexism and unequal pay, these women remain determined to excel in their field.
