When women are empowered, the whole world is transformed
“The COVID-19 crisis has made the digitalization of the economy more decisive, but unfortunately, it has also widened the gaps. If we continue with the same business-as-usual mentality as before, digitalization will not reduce gender gaps, it will increase them.”
Ms. Rebeca Grynspan, UNCTAD Secretary-General

Empower
We help women digital entrepreneurs grow in the digital world by providing access to knowledge and support to develop their businesses and go beyond their bottom line.
