Meet Rana Hayek – Lebanon’s First Female Car Mechanic

Check out this piece by Sputnik News about Rana Hayek, a 22 years old electrical engineering student currently working at a Porsche car repair shop in Broummana.

Rana Hayek from Lebanon is currently a last-year student in the electric engineering university course. “I chose this specialization because I have loved cars since childhood. I like to dig around motors and look for the cause of faults,” she told Sputnik Arabic.

“No one took me seriously at first, as they thought I had come to the car repair shop together with my father.”

“But then they got used to it, saw a professional in me and now entrust their cars to me,” Rana pointed out.  “Nevertheless, there are still those who think car repair services are a job to be done by men and I am not suitable for it,” she added.

I really don’t mind having anyone working to repair my car as long as they get the job done well, but I’m not sure how far can women like Rana go in their jobs with all the sexism they have to face in our society! You can read the full article here.
