Hello, dear ladies of Uzbekistan! We are excited to tell you about the EMPOWER project for women in Uzbekistan. The project is co-funded by the European Union Erasmus CBHE program. This project is all about helping women start and grow their businesses. We've got training, advice, and support lined up to help women succeed. Our goal is simple: we want to help women become successful business owners, which is good for everyone. EMPOWER is here to show that women's ideas and businesses are important and can help make the economy of Uzbekistan stronger. We're inviting everyone who believes in this idea to join us. Let's work together to make sure women in Uzbekistan have the chance to chase their business dreams. Thanks for supporting this journey to help women in business shine.
About usEMPOWER is the project which aims to develop gender equality in the territory of Uzbekistan by enhancing entrepreneurial skills of female citizens. Initially women will be empowered by successful stories of their compatriots. They will meet 6 female entrepreneurs from Uzbekistan and learn about their success stories. Interested women will be selected and trained for essential entrepreneurial skills. Those skills will enhance their knowledge in the field of business and will be first step in the independent life. The testing of the project will be held in the HEIs of Uzbekistan which has more than 80% female students. It will help females to taste their abilities in different field and avoid being stuck in the gender prejudiced jobs. The training will be held online and teach entrepreneurial skills.
Mothers on maternity leave, housewives, females in the remote areas and females in the young families will be encouraged to participate. This project will increase the percentage employability in Uzbekistan among females, as starting new business refers to opening new working places. It will increase the number of women in managerial positions and give chance to females to see the power of self- efficacy, independence, and self- confidence. Thus, young female generation will be more powerful and confident, the gap between ganders will shrink and employability among women will increase.
