Justicia Center for Sustainable Development works with young people, women and communities across Ethiopia to turn ideas into livelihoods that last. This story is part of that work.
What happened
Many women-led businesses operate informally because the registration process feels out of reach. Free legal advice changes that.
Participants worked through practical sessions on business planning, legal registration, pricing and marketing, then pitched their ideas to a panel of partners and mentors.
