First held in 2014, International Women's Entrepreneurship Day [WED] convenes at the United Nations in New York City and focuses on discussions about critical issues affecting women and men worldwide will take the lead.
Women worldwide have historically been underpaid, undervalued, underrepresented, underfunded – and underestimated—and still are," says WED founder & entrepreneur Wendy Diamond. "Women-owned businesses are set to increase by 90% in the next five years. We need to change the status quo because lifting women creates economic opportunity and vitality locally and globally.
Women's Entrepreneurship Day empowers women and their businesses to amplify and enhance key 21st-century leadership skills, such as cooperation, communication, and compassion commonly associated with women at home and in the workplace.
WED Global Ambassadors operate on every continent, representing women in Australia, Ghana, Kenya, Norway, Peru, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, Uganda, and over 140 countries. "Statistics show that when women are provided with economic opportunity, 90 cents on the dollar goes back to their families," says Founder Wendy Diamond. Encouraging and empowering more women to enter business will have an incredibly positive financial and social impact on global communities.
Female entrepreneurs, intrapreneurs, innovators, and job creators remain the way forward. This United Nations event aims to empower the 4 billion women worldwide and bring hope to 250 million girls living in poverty.
