During conflict, with men often on the frontlines, women increasingly assume new or additional roles, stepping into jobs and responsibilities left vacant. This shift can often lead to a transformation in gender roles and economic participation, with more and more women becoming entrepreneurs and innovators and taking on leadership roles in small businesses and community organizations.
