Abstract

The challenge before both the general and special education teacher in the 21st century is that of enhancing the engagement and full participation of all learners, irrespective of their disabilities, in societal functionalities, thereby building inclusive communities for global citizenship. This attainable ideal will be possible as people, especially women with disabilities, are accorded the opportunities to thrive, compete, and achieve their dreams in a world where the odds are stacked against persons with disabilities, especially in developing countries. This chapter explores the idea of equalizing opportunities for women with disabilities through the vehicle of entrepreneurship education. It delves into discourse on the intersectionality of gender, entrepreneurship, and disabilities, including the challenges, possibilities, new thinking, and the imperatives for gender-inclusiveness in entrepreneurial education in a globalized society. It emphasizes this training dimension to guarantee women this population's independence, empowerment, survival, and profitable and engaged living.
