Throughout the Commonwealth, and beyond, CWEIC is honoured to meet remarkable women in business who are breaking barriers in spite of the inherent difficulties they may face. To celebrate International Women’s Day on the 8^th of March, we spoke to women from the #CWEIC network to learn more about their experiences as a woman in business.

Watch the four videos below to listen to discussions on the advice they have for women entrepreneurs, common challenges they identify, how the Commonwealth has helped them, and a special video with Clare Akamanzi where she outlines what the Commonwealth can do to better support women in business.

CWEIC would like to thank the following inspiring women for participating:

• Clare Akamanzi, CEO of Rwanda Development Board and Member of Cabinet
• Millie Ogden, CEO and Founder, 3 Link
• Diane Karusisi, CEO, Bank of Kigali
• Joy DiBenedetto, Group Director Communications, Equity Bank
