Women-owned businesses remain notably under-represented in the global economy.
Access to finance plays crucial role in advancing gender equality and women’s empowerment which is one of 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals.

The gender pay gap does not just impact a woman once in her life. It has a compounding effect that results in a woman’s reduced earning capacity over her lifetime.
Gender pay gap is a matter of societal concern with far-reaching economic, social, and ethical implications.
Addressing and ultimately closing this gap is essential for creating fairer workplaces, fostering diversity and inclusion, and advancing the goal of gender equality in all aspects of society.
By embracing diversity and striving for gender balance, companies can reap the benefits of more robust decision-making, greater innovation, and improved corporate governance.
Achieving a balanced and diverse representation of individuals of all genders in leadership and decision-making positions creates a fair and equitable workplace.
Gender-balanced boards play a pivotal role in both reducing the gender pay gap and nurturing the development of women's talent within organizations.
