With women-led businesses comprising only 15% of global trade, the World Economic Forum estimates it will take over a century to bridge the divide without faster policy reform. In this episode, Anne-Marie Trevelyan, Minister of State for Foreign Affairs of the United Kingdom, Sally Jones, EY Trade Strategy and Brexit Leader and Pamela Coke-Hamilton, Executive Director of the International Trade Centre, discuss the challenges faced by women in the entrepreneurial world, including limited access to finance.  EY refers to the global organization, and may refer to one or more of the member firms of Ernst & Young Global Limited, each of which is a separate legal entity.
