THE BIG PUSH COVID-19 MESSAGE FOR OUR MEMBER COMMUNITY
With the economic repercussions of COVID-19, we suspect the oncoming recession will disproportionately affect women entrepreneurs given a confluence of factors – that they tend to run smaller businesses, are less capitalized, and are concentrated in the services sector. On top of that, managing child care during school closures and elder care while older Canadians are encouraged to self-isolate, will be extremely challenging.
In light of this, we are appealing to our member community to donate what they can, (time, money, resources)
to help mitigate the risks for women-led businesses. We have come too far to let the special circumstances and vulnerabilities of women entrepreneurs, who already face systemic barriers to financial and social capital be jeopardized.
We are here to support you in any way we can—so please email us if you would like to get involved or have questions or concerns. Let's stay connected. Join our
Big Push Facebook Group
and share your give and asks.
