Qatari women may know what careers they want, but they remain hindered by traditional values and preconceptions in male-dominated industries.
More Qatari women have university degrees than men, yet female participation in the workforce is only about 35 per cent, well below national percentages in developed countries.
This striking imbalance, which is reflected in other Gulf countries, is the focus of concern for the Qatar International Business Women Association. The organisation recently held its third annual forum in Doha, in which representatives from 12 Arab countries, and private companies, participated.
