Why Do We Celebrate?
Women Entrepreneurship Day was established to highlight the importance of women in business and their vital role in driving economic growth. It serves to promote gender equality and encourage women to pursue their entrepreneurial dreams. The day was officially recognized in 2014, inspired by the vision of Wendy Diamond, a philanthropist and advocate for women’s rights.
