Women empowerment has been increasing so rapidly all over the world and women are starting their own business to seek greater control over their personal and professional lives.
The rapid change in socioeconomic circumstances has led to the emergence of women entrepreneurs.
Over the last decade, the role of Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) in development of the women has been widely recognized. The NGOs play an important role in bridging the gap between the human and physical resources. Thus creating appropriate entrepreneurial environment and generating new opportunities. Recent studies suggest that women face more hurdles of different magnitude when compared to men entrepreneurs.
The NGO’s should strive to help the women in less developed countries especially those women who are seriously faced with poverty and for these women entrepreneurship is one of the practical solutions to survive. The NGO’s and the private sector should take up this objective domestically as well as globally to promote women entrepreneurship.

The goal of the organization is to expand women's opportunities through the promotion of access to and participation in economic processes like their Trade Carnivals. NGO’s such as COWE are simultaneously strengthening Indian society by helping the socioeconomic circumstances and autonomy of women.
