The data collected was analysed using a targeted sampling method in the Statistical Package for Social Sciences programme, followed by a study of the statistical results. During the survey, 44 respondents were interviewed. The results showed that among the most significant challenges were womens family responsibilities, gender inequality, financial difficulties, low risk inclination and competition between men and women. It was concluded that the challenges faced by women entrepreneurs could be addressed through appropriate incentives, training, encouragement, social recognition of their entrepreneurial capabilities and appropriate family support.
