Women need opportunities to take ownership of their lives and future, and to become proactive solution finders. In Norway, women, especially those with foreign backgrounds, do not have structures easily accessible that facilitate employment opportunities, job creation, and network building. Some even face discrimination on a basis of religion, culture, language, and thinking styles, irrespective of their skill, profession or academic attainment. Through this panel, we would like to highlight the challenges, take note of best practices and actionable solutions to implement on the subsequent workshops.

Topics:

1). Structures to create an enabling environment that facilitate job creation for and by women.

2). Adapting structures to empower and enable women of immigrant background to start and grow their own businesses, secure employment, or expand their professional and personal networks.
