This study aims to identify a pathway that connects female entrepreneurship and shared value creation, focusing on women's enterprise development. There is a lack of comprehensive research regarding the combination of the two concepts. The framework arose due the fact that, although women are making relevant advancements in entrepreneurship, yet, if compared to men, they lack access to finance, training, and rights, besides differing in terms of economic opportunities. Within this frame, the research highlights the Women's Empowerment Principles by the United Nations and their goals towards women's advancement. In order to investigate the proposed correlation, the object of the study is the global corporate-led non-profit WEConnect International as an effective initiative whose actions connect women-owned businesses to market opportunities.
