Empowering women entrepreneurs through digital upskilling: driving economic recovery in Türkiye, post-earthquake
Abstract
The February 2023 earthquakes in Türkiye caused widespread devastation, erasing 48,422 businesses and leaving communities grappling with the challenges of recovery. Among those most severely impacted were women-led Micro, Small, and Medium-Sized Enterprises (MSMEs), with 88% of women entrepreneurs, including refugees, facing significant disruptions to their operations. Alarmingly, 50% of these businesses remain unable to resume, revealing entrenched systemic inequalities and structural barriers, such as limited access to resources, markets, and digital tools. Without targeted intervention, these women entrepreneurs risk permanent exclusion from economic systems, exacerbating regional disparities and delaying recovery.
