Description
In a world where women comprise 49.7% of the population, only 34% of businesses worldwide are woman-owned, according to World Bank Gender Data. Despite a promising recent surge in women-led startups, entrepreneurial barriers for women often include lack of access to capital, pandemic-incited availability of fewer working hours compared to men, and more. However, partnerships can help chart a course to overcome such barriers. This panel spotlights the power of partnerships in supporting women’s and girls’ entrepreneurial endeavors.
