The Greek Association of Women Entrepreneurs (SEGE) is running initiatives across the country to empower women and strengthen their equal participation in business and the labour market.
As part of its work, the association said in a statement, SEGE has set up an Action Group, as well as branches and collaboration groups for its members and beneficiaries.
The initiatives began in September and span the country, from Alexandroupoli to Filiatra and from Grevena to Karpenisi and Lefkada.
Working with businesses, chambers of commerce, local authorities and social organisations, the association is running initiatives covering education, the development of professional and digital skills, social inclusion and networking.
The association’s secretary-general, Felina Kazakou, from Komotini, said particular emphasis was being placed on designing initiatives around the needs identified in each area, as well as its potential and specific characteristics.
According to the coordinators of the Central Greece branch, Naya Samara and Eleni Chatzi, from Lamia and Spercheiada respectively, the aim is to improve women’s access to knowledge, available resources and support networks, enabling them to develop their career prospects, take an active role in economic life and contribute to the development of local communities.
