66 Sustainability: Digital entrepreneurship enables women to bypass traditional gatekeepers, access global markets, and scale their businesses. With the right support — such as women- centric incubators, mentorship programmes, and enabling policies — the opportunities for growth are vast. The Future of Feminist Digital Entrepreneurship Feminist digital entrepreneurship is poised to expand as emerging technologies such as blockchain, artificial intelligence (AI), and virtual reality (VR) create new avenues for innovation. Blockchain technology is already being used to ensure transparency and fairness in supply chains, aligning with feminist values. Similarly, AI-enabled tools can help mitigate biases in hiring, advertising, and product development. Governments and organizations are reinforcing this trend through policies that promote digital literacy, technological access, and support for women entrepreneurs. Closing Feminist digital entrepreneurship integrates three key elements: gender equity, human empowerment, and digital transformation. Through digital platforms, women establish successful businesses while challenging systemic inequalities and fostering inclusive communities. The growth of this movement has the potential to create a more equitable global economy. The digital age is not merely a new chapter in entrepreneurship — it is a revolution, and women are leading the way. BIBLIOGRAPHY Alzamel, S. (2024).
