Context

EMWOSE, developed by the Limerick Institute of Technology's Development Unit in partnership with Fundación Ronsel, aims to increase the employment of ethnic-minority women by giving them the knowledge and practical skills needed to engage in social enterprise.

Objectives

Address the specific barriers ethnic-minority women face — current working conditions, business-management skills gaps, lack of adequate mentorship, and psychological and cultural obstacles — through targeted training.

Conclusions

By targeting the economic power of ethnic-minority women and strengthening their capacity to develop their own enterprise projects, the project positions itself as a targeted response to a specific, under-served group within the broader gender-equality field.
