The Government is championing social enterprise as a means to support women from BAME groups to become more economically independent and participate more fully in the workplace.
The Cabinet Office has published a new report, 'Social Enterprise: Making it Work for Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic Women'. It covers a range of proposals including new signposting resources for advice and funding and looking at how women's centres and children's centres could be used to provide space for BAME women to create networks. On launching the report Phil Hope, Minister for the Third Sector said "BAME women can have a better understanding of the issues facing their communities than anyone else so supporting them in particular has great potential".
