Naeem Ul Hassan

Women who pursue entrepreneurship have a chance to gain economic empowerment and independence, which is the dream of every woman. Empowering women in entrepreneurship not only benefits them but also contributes to economic development and drives innovation. Since women constitute half of the world’s population, supporting their business ventures creates employment and strengthens local and global economies. In today’s male-dominated and increasingly competitive business environment, women who are committed to helping female entrepreneurs succeed in their ventures are unquestionably “modern-day heroes.” Among these female superheroes is Halina Bartoszek “Rosa” who is on a mission to empower women economically. Halina’s life story is incredibly motivating. She was born in Nowy Targ, Poland. She grew up in Bia?y Dunajec and became involved in artistic activities at an early age. She graduated in 1997. Since 2008, she has been running a painting gallery. In 2012, she won an award in the Art Creation Competition titled `Dumania Dumaca z Gorcow` for oil painting, which is a testament to her creative mind. She moved to Sweden in 2015, where she studied entrepreneurship. She has established a name for herself internationally as a business leader and educator in the field of entrepreneurship during her 9 years in Sweden. Halina believes that entrepreneurship is the only way for women to gain economic autonomy and have the freedom to make choices. She has encouraged and assisted countless women all over the world to become entrepreneurs and succeed in their ventures. Receiving the title of Business Women Ambassador 2018-Sweden and winning the 2024 Women Changing the World Awards for promoting entrepreneurship and creativity among women around the world is a testament to her outstanding contributions to empowering women globally. Halina is collaborating with Indian director Ajay Chitnis on a new documentary film that highlights the successful stories of herself and seven other women entrepreneurs. This amazing project is going to revolutionize female entrepreneurship. Halina’s distinguished career as a businesswoman sets her apart from other women in leadership roles. She is the owner and President of the Foundation for Supporting Culture and International Cooperation named Halina Rosa, as well as the owner and Editor-in-Chief of the art culture business magazine, The DESIGNER and the founder of HALINA ROSA DESIGN. She also works with the Swedish organization SENSUS as a Leader and Educator. For achieving outstanding successes in the business sphere, she was awarded the Woman with Passion 2020 Plebiscite by Imperium Kobiet Magazine. In addition to her excellent career in the business world, Halina has made a name for herself as a writer and publisher. She has authored and co-authored several books, including BUSINESS INSPIRATIONS BY POLISH WOMEN IN THE WORLD, How to Become a Designer and The Ambassador of Divine Diamonds. In low-income countries, women own one in every four businesses. Studies show that the absence of mentors and role models hinders women’s advancement in the workplace. New and emerging female entrepreneurs may benefit more from the guidance of highly experienced female entrepreneurs and business mentors like Halina in order to succeed in their ventures. “Embrace Your Unique Vision: Your individuality is your greatest asset.
