History, Significance and Quotes That Will Inspire Every Woman

WOMEN’S ENTREPRENEURSHIP DAY 2022: Every year on November 19, Women’s Entrepreneurship Day is commemorated to recognise the efforts of female entrepreneurs and to highlight their contributions towards society. Despite all the progress made since the Industrial Revolution in terms of education, culture, mentorship and capital, gender restrictions still prevent women entrepreneurs from growing.

These days, women are starting their own companies or working as independent consultants or freelancers. Entrepreneurship allows women to make their own hours and earn their own money. This has led to a rise in the number of women willing to take a chance.

WOMEN’S ENTREPRENEURSHIP DAY: HISTORY

The United Nations and more than 120 nations mark Women’s Entrepreneurship Day, which is hosted by the WEDO (Women’s Entrepreneurship Day Organization). Wendy Diamond, founder of Pet Pioneer and Animal Fair Media and recipient of an Ellis Island Medal of Honor was inspired to create Women Entrepreneurship Day. She had previously served in Honduras as a volunteer with the Adelante Foundation which provides microloans for low-income women.

The United Nations hosted this inaugural event. Several other events were held simultaneously in several other countries. In 2014, the first WED was recognized by 144 nations.
