(Photo courtesy of June Lei Vitangcol) MANILA - Lifestyle options and convenience for women now gently find their space in the community, with more slogans echoing gender equality, but for some, it still has a long way to go. June Lei Vitangcol, 25, a public Math school teacher, seems to find her quarter-life fulfillment in a small-scale yet notable advocacy for women: to provide them with options and promote convenience they need not be apologetic about. Vitangcol juggles her teaching responsibilities alongside a small retailing business which she called "rare". She focuses herself on school during the day, and works on her business at nights or weekends, with the help of her siblings. &quo
While International Women’s Day 2022 has passed, it is critical that the Europe and Central Asia region maintain a focus on gender equality. Without identifying and grappling with existing inequalities, the region will never reach its full economic potential.
Measuring women’s entrepreneurial activity is critically important for a better understanding of how female entrepreneurs contribute to the economy and society. The We-Data project financed by We-Fi collects and publishes global gender-disaggregated data on business entry.
