Second IOE's Policy Working Group on Gender Equality and Diversity event on "Women Entrepreneurship: Overcoming Barriers and Challenges"

On 7 March 2022, IOE's Policy Working Group on Gender Equality and Diversity held an event on "Women Entrepreneurship: Overcoming Barriers and Challenges".

What are the reasons behind the gap in female entrepreneurship and what type of solutions can be put in place to address them? As part of International Women’s Day on 8 March 2022, IOE held a virtual seminar under the theme “Women Entrepreneurship: Overcoming Barriers and Challenges”.

Aimed to address some pertinent questions in efforts to unpack this issue further and to promote and encourage women entrepreneurship, this event was chaired by Anne Vauchez, Chair of IOE's Policy Working Group on Gender Equality and Diversity, and featured IOE President, Michele Parmelee, IOE Secretary-General Roberto Suárez Santos, and successful entrepreneurs from different regions. They provided their insights and views on how can we encourage women entrepreneurs to grow and thrive.

The agenda of the event is available in the "Resources" section.
