“WHEN WOMEN PARTICIPATE IN THE ECONOMY, EVERYONE BENEFITS!”

It is true that women have come a long way with over 2 million Women Entrepreneurs in Nigeria! But , when we have a closer look, it is just 13.76% of the total entrepreneurs.Why is this share very little? It is because we hardly understand the significance of economic independence of women. It is a must to realize that Real Women Empowerment is through their Economic Independence.

Every Woman is an Entrepreneur if she realizes her Inner Strength!

This economic dependency builds in an insecure feel, lowers their confidence and shrinks their freedom. Finally they lose their personality and their life becomes filled up with only compromises. It is not just a negativity to the woman herself, but to her family and the entire society as well.
  • On the other hand, when a woman is economically empowered, she reveals her true personality. She becomes an independent Decision Maker , a Role Model to her children, family and to the entire society.
  • Transforming women into perfect citizens:Only such an empowered woman shall raise voice , take part in policy making and become an active contributor to the society.

It shall be proved true when Empowerment,Qualification and Transparency comes in line, Quotas or Reservation becomes insignificant.
