“The launch recognises the significant contribution women make to South Africa’s economy while acknowledging the persistent challenges many continue to face, including limited access to finance, procurement opportunities, markets, information, technology and business development support. These challenges are further compounded by poverty, unemployment, unequal pay, discrimination, and GBVF.
