Studies on women entrepreneurship have witnessed a rapid growth over the past 30 years. Women’s entrepreneurship is a district that needs specific research attention within the wake of the COVID 19 pandemic, as many are affected financially and emotionally. Many are reported seeking help and switching businesses literally to overcome the challenges. Women in small medium enterprises (SME) are still struggling to make ends meet even though numerous numbers of support are given by the government. By statistics, women are also keen to remain with entrepreneurship in informal sectors. Historically, women in general received perception of gender bias, being critically suppressed, and remained the symbol of subordinates. Thus, this conceptual paper intends to investigate and determine the issues and challenges among women entrepreneurs in the small medium enterprises (SME) and from the informal sectors of the economy in the midst of pandemic Covid-19. This paper employs doctrinal study by collecting primary and secondary data from books, journals, legislations, and manuscripts. Data collection were analyzed by using content analysis techniques with the aim to analyze the impact of the pandemic on women entrepreneurs holistically.
