Craft sector is a major player in the economy, through traditions, techniques and culture it has brought and made evolve. It is a dynamic and growing sector, whose contribution to the dynamism of the territories is well established. These Very Small Enterprises link all the countries and carry strong values of transmission, excellence, know-how, short circuits, proximity or even sustainable development ...
In recent years, there has been a new attraction for crafts by people with a first professional experience, wishing to give a new meaning to their life and choosing crafts to retrain.
However, the craft sector still suffers from a degraded image in the eyes of the general public, which too often considers that the crafts they represent are painful and offer a limited future. This negative image also persists due to a lack of gender mix in many activities. In fact, the volume of women managers only reaches 27%. The vast majority works in services and caring profession (hairdresser, esthetician) or in production activities related to the traditional crafts (jeweler, upholsterer, textile manufacturing, etc.); few of them represent such sectors as mechanics, building.
Entrepreneurship experts assume that women start fewer businesses than men because they face more obstacles (financial, time, and even self-confidence).
How is it possible to stimulate women’s leadership, giving them the ability to gain self-confidence and assert themselves to be able to develop and lead their businesses?
