Women's Entrepreneurship Day (WED) is a day celebrated annually on 15 November on which the work of women entrepreneurs is observed and discussed, held every day of each year.[1] The inaugural event was held in New York City at the United Nations, with additional events being held simultaneously in several other countries. 144 nations overall recognized the first WED in 2014, which included the presentation of the Women's Entrepreneurship Day Pioneer Awards. The organization behind WED also has an ambassadorship and fellowship program.

The annual event got shifted to 15 November 2024 to avoid clashing with International Men's Day which has been observed on every 19 November since 1999.
