Women Do Business’s main aim is to promote female entrepreneurship and the elimination of stereotypes that keep women away from starting and growing and business. By including more young people into our network we will have the chance to educate them and help them to stay away from the stereotypes that will possibly keep them away in the future. In addition, the participation of younger people into the activities of our organisations will help us understand better the problems they face into labor market and let them express the obstacles they’re facing and the ideas they have into a safe network. Furthermore, we believe that is important to cultivate into younger people’s minds the principle of gender equality in every life sector. Finally, as an NGO we wish to promote to younger generations the value of volunteerism and active citizenship through team work. For all these reasons, we seek for creative ways to attract the interest of younger people and educate them on gender equality.

As an organisation who directs to women of all ages we try to find ways to attract more young people to participate into our network.
