Nowadays, movie stars and college-going girls have turned into entrepreneurs, and thousands of women are running small businesses across the country and playing their role in sustaining the state’s economy. Hence it is necessary to acknowledge their efforts.
Therefore, every year on November 19, Women’s Entrepreneurship Day is celebrated around the world. The first Women’s Entrepreneurship Day (WED) event was hosted at the UN in New York City in 2014 and was acknowledged and honored in 144 different nations.
The day is memorialized to recognize, support, and celebrate women as business leaders and entrepreneurs contributing to economic growth and development.
Why Is Women’s Entrepreneurship Day celebrated?
Women are responsible for around 85% of purchases and close to $20 trillion in worldwide expenditure. However, women are underrepresented in the labor market, and they account for just around 10% of global income since women earn less than males. There is an increase in female entrepreneurs.
They have been making advances and running thriving enterprises over the years. Women’s Entrepreneurship Day honor’s this contribution and works to create a more welcoming atmosphere for female entrepreneurs.
WED encourages women to become active participants in the economy by establishing a network of female leaders, thinkers, and entrepreneurs to launch new businesses, create economic growth, and improve communities. It also creates a network of like-minded individuals from which female leaders may benefit to make a significant difference.
Ways To Celebrate Women’s Entrepreneurship Day
Here are some of the ways by which you can celebrate WED even if you are not an entrepreneur:
