Everybody in the world has felt the effects of the pandemic in one way or another. In the world of business, Covid-19 has forced countless entrepreneurs to the sidelines, wreaking havoc on international trade and pushing millions into a sea of uncertainty.
When economic aspects are taken into account alongside cross-cutting issues such as gender, women entrepreneurs in particular have been disproportionately affected.
The pandemic and subsequent control measures such as lockdowns had a strong effect on 64% of businesses owned by women, compared with 52% of those owned by men, according to a survey by the International Trade Center.
