For World Refugee Day, this article examines how entrepreneurship training can support refugee women not only as income-generating activity, but as a pathway to agency, planning, self-reliance, and social participation. It argues that entrepreneurship support in displacement settings must go beyond generic business knowledge and respond to the behavioural, social, and structural barriers that shape women’s economic choices. Drawing on evidence from Personal Initiative training and move-eti’s implementation experience, the article shows why locally adapted, practice-oriented entrepreneurship training can strengthen women’s capacity to act while also creating practical links with host communities.
