Equality is not just a “women’s issue” but a global economic imperative. Closing the gender gap could add $12 trillion to global gross domestic product over the next decade. In developing countries, women’s entrepreneurship creates jobs, enhances overall economic growth, and is a path out of poverty for many women and their families. Women don’t need handouts; they need business and leadership training, role models, professional networks, and moral support from family. Women entrepreneurs also need a broader and more creative range of financing options to grow their business and realize its full potential.
