Sharjah’s female entrepreneurs are asserting themselves on the emirate’s business landscaper in greater and greater numbers, if figures from the Sharjah Business Women Council (SBWC) are anything to go by.
The council’s membership figures are creeping towards the 1,500 mark having launched in 2002 to support the integration of women into the global economy.
During the past 13 years it has made great strides in itself, and on behalf of Sharjah’s businesswomen, no doubt boosted by the 2010 granting of legal personality and the capacity to operate under the umbrella of the Executive Office of Her Highness Sheikha Jawaher Bint Mohammed Bin Sultan Al Qasimi, the wife of the ruler of Sharjah.
As well as a range of support including legal advice, dispute resolution, business guidance, and more, the SBWC offers programmes such as Irthi – a platform for ethical lifestyle goods businesses and Bidwa – an initiative to capitalise on the traditional handicrafts of the Emirates.
