“On the occasion of the International Day against Violence against Women, Confimprenditori renews its commitment to combating all forms of discrimination and gender-based violence, while promoting the role of women in the world of entrepreneurship. Violence against women is not only a social problem, but also an obstacle to economic progress and equality. Women who are victims of violence often see their opportunities for professional growth and economic independence limited. We believe that encouraging female entrepreneurship is one of the most effective ways to guarantee women’s autonomy, dignity and a better future.”
The president of Confimprenditori, Stefano Ruvolo, said this at the presentation of the “Impresa Donna” project in Rome.
“On this important day we are proud to announce the launch of the “Impresa Donna” project, a national program designed to support women who want to start an entrepreneurial activity. With this ambitious project we plan to organize training courses in business management, digital marketing and access to finance to give women entrepreneurs the skills to build successful businesses. In collaboration with our reference banking institutions, we offer support to obtain special financing, with subsidized rates and advantageous conditions for female entrepreneurs. We also intend to create a network of entrepreneurs and professionals who can support, advise and share experiences. Finally, a special section of the program will be dedicated to women who have been victims of violence, where personalized paths will be provided to help them rebuild their economic and social autonomy. We ask all institutions, businesses and civil society to join us in this fight. Supporting female entrepreneurship is not just a matter of justice, but an investment in the future of our country.”
