Lamia Fikrat

This week, 2019 fellow of Morocco Lamia Fikrat was interviewed by Finances News Hebdo, a weekly newspaper in Morocco. In the article, Lamia, an executive manager and strategy consultant, discusses the landscape for women in STEM in Morocco and shares advice for women leaders.
Despite women playing a vital role in STEM throughout Morocco, Lamia believes they remain mostly invisible: “…it is still rare to see a woman praised for her professional success. Yet women undeniably contribute to the development of our country,” she says. In addition to her work as a consultant, Lamia mentors and supports women entrepreneurs, advocating for greater visibility of women in STEM fields. “I invite women STEM leaders to be more visible and sponsor the women and girls around them: push them, support them and celebrate their successes,” she says.​
