ACCORDING to the Global Gender Gap report 2020, it will take another 100 years to achieve gender equality based on the rate of progress in the growth of women entrepreneurs in the ecosystem. Does it seem realistic? BW Disrupt recognises trailblazing women entrepreneurs who defied all the odds to establish a mark of significant business success.
