Women’s Entrepreneurship Day is celebrated on November 19 every year to recognise the achievement of women entrepreneurs and to support the efforts of women to build their business ventures.

• This global initiative, established by the Women’s Entrepreneurship Development Organization (WEDO), has already been adopted by more than 144 countries worldwide.
• The day was initiated to address various issues faced by women entrepreneurs like lack of education, cultural influences, limited access to capital and lack of mentorship, among others.
• The first Women Entrepreneurship Day was observed in New York City in 2014 and the majority of UN member nations supported it. The Women’s Entrepreneurship Day was also marked by the presentation of the Pioneer Award, instituted by WEDO.
