Encouraging Female Entrepreneurship on International Women's Day

Despite progress in recent decades, women still earn less than men in nearly every industry and at every level of seniority. According to data from the World Economic Forum, the global gender pay gap currently stands at 16%, meaning that women earn, on average, only 84 cents for every dollar earned by men. This gap is even wider for women of colour, who face additional barriers due to systemic racism and discrimination.
