Four out of five women say they have been disproportionately affected by Covid 19
Network Ireland's new International Women's Day survey shows two thirds of them feel the pandemic has slowed progress towards gender equality here.
President of the organisation, Aisling O'Neill says the Government must help more women become business leaders:
"For instance Enterprise Ireland would be very proactive in terms of female entrepreneurship and how we can increase female entrepreneurship through female-only calls for their competitive start funds and specific supports for female founders that we need to progress this area and ensure that we have more women entering into entrepreneurship."
