entrepreneurs across the globe

Globally, women suffer disproportionately
External barriers for many women entrepreneurs: Inequalities Cultural and traditional practices Restrain on access to resources Decision on resource allocation Use of resources
Internal Barriers for many women:
Self doubt Risk Averse Own high standards Fear of unpredictability
Many women entrepreneurs are constantly challenged to counteract an unfavorable
business environment
In some cases the strategies women use are unlikely to
facilitate growth
