Global Sisters Responds to COVID-19

In the face of the COVID-19 crisis, Global Sisters’ work is more important than ever.

The Coronavirus pandemic has amplified the need to supply hope, opportunity and a pathway to success for women: particularly single mums, carers and older women who are at risk of facing long term unemployment due to the current crisis.

With the exponential increase in job losses, there is an urgent need to support the creation of new businesses and help those with existing business move online and pivot their offering. What Global Sisters offers is now not just an alternative to mainstream employment or welfare, but in many cases, the only choice.

Global Sisters is removing the barriers to get women out of financial dependency: by making self-employment an option via a fully digital training platform.

We make our programs accessible to all women, connecting women in all parts of Australia, expanding community and personal connections, removing the threat of isolation and up-skilling and up-tooling women with our online programs of My Big Idea and Sister School.

We know that women are the most impacted by Coronavirus in terms of job losses from casual employment and the impacts of caring along with home-schooling on their workload. Therefore accessible, flexible, remote and free support is critical.

“Women are hit harder by the economic impacts of the Coronavirus pandemic as more women work in low-paying, insecure and informal jobs. The COVID-19 response must include building women’s economic resilience.” UN Women, 2020.

Global Sisters recognises that this COVID-19 pandemic is an opportunity to help serve those that are being hardest hit, and lay the foundation to build a more resilient and adaptable society. HOW? By supporting existing business owners to shift operations online and pivot their offering, together with enabling women who have found themselves unemployed to generate an income through a new business, will do exactly that.

“After the period of crisis adjustment, people will quickly turn to income generating solutions and be looking for cost free support to start a home-based, digital business.” Mandy Richards CEO/ Founder of Global Sisters

Global Sisters is responding now by offering FULLY online business educations designed for women in need.
