As a result of the research, significant progress has been made in women's entrepreneurship in Djibouti in recent years with the support of international economic institutions such as the World Bank. Although discrimination against women and their being seen in the secondary plan remain the main obstacles, it has been determined that national policies attach importance to the education, support and development of women, their participation in economic activities and increasing their visibility. However, it has been observed that the support and guidance of international institutions and national policies are in harmony, and the value judgments of the society have changed in the participation of women in both social and economic activities, especially in the last decade.
