Entrepreneurship for Migrants and Refugees
An internally displaced woman entrepreneur in Yemen bakes a birthday cake. Since March 2015, thousands of families in Yemen have fled their homes because of the conflict. Though each woman suffered from the impact of the war in a different way, they all have one thing in common: the spirit of resilience. UNCTAD, in partnership with the International Organization for Migration and the UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR) opened a photo exhibit in Geneva, Switzerland, on 18 November 2019 to show how migrant and refugee entrepreneurs contribute to the economic and social development of their host and origin countries. The exhibit was organized as part of Global Entrepreneurship Week 2019 and the photos were displayed in the Palais des Nations.
