Summary/Abstract: Encouraging women to take up self-employment is important from the point of view of implementation of gender equality policy, employment and economic growth. Hence, it is important to stimulate entrepreneurship among women. To achieve this goal, legal regulations, tools and actions are taken in the framework of so-called good practices. The purpose of this article is to present good practices from various institutions in the context of responsibility for implementing equality policy and for stimulating women’s business activities, with particular emphasis on the Lower Silesian Voivodeship, and to make an attempt at answering the question: Do actions taken in the region fulfill their function? The article uses the method of analysis of legal acts and statistical data from reports and studies on this topic. Professional websites were also analysed.
