From The Participants...
“This was the most exciting
conference I have ever attended! I never before met so many great female
role models in such an inspiring environment! I returned home with wings
on my back – they will help me to fly higher in my career. Having seen so
many successful women, I learned that nothing is impossible for us.”
-- Anke Domscheit, Accenture
(Germany)
“Exquisite Summit! This is a
platform for positive growth. Each time, I come back home with many new
ideas and with different energy. I have made four contacts to market my
products in Iceland, Mexico and USA. I also promised to a few new friends
to look for opportunities for them in Canadian markets.

Evnur Taran, President, Northern Legacy (Canada)

El poder de nuestras mujeres
El 80% de las microempresas del mundo
están dirigidas por mujeres.
El microcrédito es
considerado un arma para combatir la pobreza.
|
Y si pensamos en el microcrédito como
un arma para combatir la pobreza, sería acertado decir que las mujeres del
mundo tienen en sus manos el poder para generar desarrollo económico y
erradicar la miseria de la faz de la Tierra.
La cifra, que se dio a conocer durante
la XV Cumbre Global de Mujeres, conocida como el "Davos de las mujeres",
celebrada en México, sorprende pero también muestra que todavía queda mucho
por hacer.
Un claro ejemplo es América Latina,
donde las mujeres también son microempresarias, pero el acceso al crédito se
les dificulta.
Para tener una idea, alcanza con
recordar que en México sólo el 15% de las empresas tienen dirección
femenina.
