Women's Entrepreneurship Day (WED).

Women’s Entrepreneurship Day (WED) is an annual event held on November 19 to support and encourage women business owners around the world. The first event, held in 2014 by the United Nations, was initiated by Wendy Diamond, an American author and entrepreneur. WED events include educational seminars, discussions, networking, and awards ceremonies, with events held in nearly 150 countries. The Women’s Entrepreneurship Day Organization (WEDO) that grew out of WED helps fundraise and coordinate microloans to help women in poverty around the world start small businesses to provide for their families.
