'Women facing difficulties in business'

RAWALPINDI: Women entrepreneurs face a lot of difficulties to establish their businesses as compared to men, said Samina Fazil, founder President of Islamabad Women Chamber of Commerce on Saturday.

She was talking to Mian Shahid, Chairman of Pakistan Society Watch here.

Samina Fazil said that since women have to spend sufficient time on domestic chores, it becomes difficult for them run a business successfully. Moreover, women are not treated equal to men who are given preference over them, she added.

Women also have to face problems in raising finances for their businesses. Bankers, creditors and financial institutes try to extend loan facilities to women on different unfounded grounds, she alleged. (APP)
