In Pakistan, a small percentage of women get a chance to attain higher education, and among them, even fewer pursue studies in traditionally male-dominated fields like information and technology. Even after graduation, only a handful of Pakistani women opt for a full-time career in the field.
Sakina Abbas, 25, from Karachi, is one of the few women who defied the norms and studied computer sciences at a private university, graduating with a degree in the discipline in 2019.
