Women's access to financial services EmpowerWomen/WorldPulse Post

Women are having a major positive impact bringing diversity in problem solving, environmental improvements and sustainable responses to medium and long term but most still face barriers to access to credit, micro-credit, financial services and property ownership; many of them are social, religious and legal.
One of the cornerstones for economic empowerment of women and girls is financial inclusion. In the first instance it is important that policies address the issue as a means to improve economic well-being of women.
After the Information is critical . And digital education really make a difference.
Not only through technologies in the field of finance that contribute to financial inclusion of women as companies "Cashing in", Mobile Finance and Mobile Banking in Kenya , Bangladesh, Pakistan, Nigeria, Ghana, India http://www.theguardian.com/global-development-professionals-network/2014....

But also through Digital resources and opportunities that exist for women in this new era of social and ICT revolution.
1 barrier is the lack of knowledge that many women have on financial matters and the limits when believing in them and acquire more autonomy.

From a woman farmer needs credit to purchase seeds and improve her farming system; a woman housewife with a small business venture to a growing need information and financial education, optimize the management of her personal finances, home and manage her business.

The goals of the new millennium have successfully created a growing market for financial access to women; we know that investing in women and girls communities, countries become + the Entire World.

Women as leaders and change agents transfer these benefits to education, access to services and quality of life . Many organizations already focus their efforts on financial inclusion:
