• increase knowledge about the SDGs and their potential impacts on women among non-traditional audiences; and
• collaborate with private sector partners on all SDGs, but SDG5 in particular; to share best practices and innovative ideas.

Prizes

• The top winners will be recognized in September, 2018 at an event on the margins of the 2018 UN General Assembly High-Level Week in New York.
• The stories of the winning women entrepreneur (and many other notable entries) will be shared through partners’ social media and websites.
