To date four hundred and seventy-four women have registered their businesses under the She Trades Hub which was developed by the Ministry of Trade and Industry.
It was developed in October 2020.
The move is aimed at support women owed small and medium sized enterprises generate economic growth and contribute to poverty reduction globally.
On Wednesday the House of Representatives was informed by Minister of Trade and Industry, Paula Gopee Scoon, of some of the benefits of the initiative.
Before an update was provided by Minister Gopee Scoon, Opposition Member of Parliament for Mayaro, Rushton Paray, wanted to know given the severe negative impact the ongoing pandemic has had on women entrepreneurs, could the Minister indicate what support has been provided for this group during the COVID-19 pandemic?
