Although a large proportion of women have entered in the formal workforce and business sector in Pakistan, still they face numerous challenges. Women entrepreneurs face obstacles related to financing, owning and growing a business, including legal and policy obstacles to business ownership and development. Similarly, women working in formal and informal workforce are still facing inequalities in access to opportunities and pay.
We are pleased to share that Cyntax Health Projects in collaboration with Islamabad Women Chamber of Commerce & Industry has launched Women for Women Program on February 24 th 2023. The program will help women in gaining increased access to the finance, markets and networks necessary to start and grow a business.
It will also generate evidence based research data to deepen understanding of women’s economic empowerment through trade by fostering further research and data collection efforts for assisting government in creating enabling environment for women in business. The program was inaugurated by President IWCCI Ms. Rizwana Asif. The soft launch was attended by women entrepreneurs and members of business community.
