Covid-19 has taken a heavy toll on woman entrepreneurs who retail their fashion, cosmetics, and other imported products through social media. Twenty-four percent of the entrepreneurs, who were trying to reduce the loss in April by cancelling orders and selling off their stock, shut down their businesses in June. This grim picture came up in a survey conducted by BRAC Institute of Governance and Development (BIGD) on female entrepreneurs who run their businesses through social media. In a webinar hosted on Sunday, Mehnaz Rabbani, programme lead, Research, Policy, and Governance at BIGD, presented these alarming findings.
