Women’s Entrepreneurship Day

Every year on 19 November, the world pauses to celebrate Women’s Entrepreneurship Day, a global movement that recognises the vision, creativity, and determination of women who are shaping economies and transforming societies through business.

This day is more than a commemoration, it is a call to action. Women across Namibia and the world continue to build enterprises that create jobs, support families, and strengthen communities, often overcoming barriers such as limited access to finance, mentorship, and markets. Their resilience demonstrates that entrepreneurship is not just about profit, but about purpose, empowerment, and social impact.

From rural craft producers and small business owners to corporate leaders and innovators, Namibian women are redefining leadership and proving that success has no gender. As we mark this day, let us celebrate their achievements, invest in their ideas, and commit to creating an environment where every woman entrepreneur can thrive.
