In the context of the research, the webinar also addressed the following questions:

• Why are women choosing social enterprise?
  
• Does social enterprise provide an effective platform for women’s empowerment?
  
• Are women able to access the same resources to grow social enterprises as men?
  
• To what extent are social enterprises challenging or reinforcing gender stereotypes?
  
• Do social enterprises change men’s attitudes and behaviour towards women? 
  

And the presenters were:

• Diana Costa, Aspen Network of Development Entrepreneurs (Host)
• Gillian Cowell, British Council
• Mark Richardson, Social Impact Consulting
