  primarily through virtual means, to obtain a better understanding of the corporate 
  
  landscape and its impact on the peace process. That outreach included not only owners 
  
  of women-led businesses and representatives of women’s business associa tions, but 
  
  also embassies with an interest in supporting efforts to promote discussions on the 
  
  gender-differentiated impact of a settlement and on the necessary policies to be 
  
  implemented to ensure that a settlement can more effectively benefit both women and 
  
  men. Engagement with business interlocutors had a special focus on women and 
  
  young entrepreneurs, and views were solicited from young female members of 
  
  family-owned businesses, well-established female heads of companies and young 
  
  female entrepreneurs.
