Empowering women through entrepreneurship leads to sustainable development and lower poverty rates. 'If you want to change the world, help the women.' – Nelson Mandela. Entrepreneurs are an engine of economic growth that can drive post-pandemic recovery. But while women are as creative and innovative as men, far fewer are entrepreneurs. The average share of female business owners fluctuates at about 25%, and the average share of female sole proprietors is below 35%. Globally, 16 million more women than men live in poverty due to unequal access to, and control over, economic resources.
