The major objective in offering BDS services to women is to assist them in generating more income so that they are better able to become economically independent, which will eventually contribute to community welfare. Many women in Qatar are highly educated but are not in the workforce for cultural reasons. The Roudha Center aims to promote a female entrepreneurial and leadership culture in Qatar by identifying, organising and promoting women entrepreneurs and innovators. Through a network of partnerships, it seeks to provide programming and resources, interactive workshops, incubation, mentorship and legal services to address women’s needs and support their entrepreneurial activities.
