The project "supporting women’s start-up in the 2017-2025 period” has promoted the spirit of entrepreneurship, creating jobs, and raising income for people in general and women in particular, thereby contributing to raising social awareness on the role of women in economic development. With the support of the Women's Union at all levels, to date, thousands of women have successfully started their businesses in different regions, fields and types of businesses. Of those, many are ethnic minority women and women with disabilities.
