inan
cial literacy for access to
capital
Financial literacy allows women to know the financialsystem, its services, benefits and risks.In addition, it is a facilitator of the culture of saving andplanning income and expenses.
For women, it is often difficult to access the financialsystem and its services, making it difficult to enter themarket of goods and services; as well as its entrepreneurialpotential and generating wealth.
It is an instrument that gives women a series skills andabilities that enhance their potential market insertion
