Migrant and refugee women in Australia are being encouraged to start their own businesses through a scholarship program started by non-profit C-E-O Violet Roumeliotis. The Ignite Multicultural Women's Business Scholarships aim to provide women with the financial support to get their business ideas off the ground.
