Paragraphe
Paragraph text
In many economies, there are discriminatory laws, often emanating from personal law systems, that create barriers to women operating in business. Examples include restrictions on registering a business, travelling outside of a country, owning land and other productive assets, opening a bank account, inheriting family property and taking a job without a husband's permission. In many countries, the legal regulation of cooperatives allows membership for male heads of household only.
