Women Entrepreneurs & Economic Development of a Nation

when we speak of women’s economic empowerment we refer to women’s economic rights including equal access to: ownership of and control over land, property, productive assets and resources including finance and capacity building and access on an equal basis as men to decent work and full and productive employment; their economic independence or full ability to freely assert their autonomy and exercise their choices; and their full access to decision making in all economic decisions that affect their lives and the lives of their families, communities and societies.
