 Why not move?
Aabukar,
What country are you currently working in? If you have the credentials you state (graduate degree, extensive teaching, work, and project management experience, certifictions, etc), you can pretty much write your own ticket as long as you choose a country where females are on an equal playing field as males in the work force. With your credentials, you should have no trouble getting a work visa or whatever it is called to work in most countries (USA, Australia, New Zealand, Asia, Canada, etc) since you have extensive specialized technical skills that these countries seek and readily approve entry for work (same as nurses, doctors, etc). Why languish in your current country if it is holding you back as it sounds.
As a sidenote, my computer instructor told us that women actually make better programmers and Forensic Computer Specialists (the people that recover data from "destroyed" hardrives and media for big bucks $$$) because women are, for the most part, more analytical and focus on the details needed in these jobs. I would say investigate other areas of the world for work where your skills and credentials are looked at and rewarded, not your gender. In fact, my company is looking for a programmer of some type. Not sure exactly what the details are or what it pays, but I can give you the web site to check it out if you are interested. If so email me. Thanks.
