Women Empowerment through Micro-enterprise in slum areas.

Parental childcare use of micro-enterprise to enhance income generation and job opportunities to poor families as a popular tool of raising standards of living in slum areas, by Providing the very poor families with small loans to invest in their micro enterprises, increase their incomes, and improve their families' well-being. As women are more likely to spend the majority of their personal incomes on improving the family situation, this economic empowerment greatly benefits their children, who are generally more likely to attend school and have better nutrition.

​

Therefore, it is important and utmost necessary to make rural women empowered in taking decisions to enable them to be in the central part of any human development process. The empowerment of women also considered as an active process enabling women to realize their full identity and power in all spheres of life. The women need special attention to ensure their development and participation in the decision making process at home, in the community and governance. Hence what is needed is a conducive environment to maximize their potentials.

 

This conducive environment should include basic amenities such as better health and nutrition, education and sensitization to their rights and protection under the law and employment opportunities, etc, a powerful tool to eradicate poverty especially among rural women as they are at the lowest rung of poverty ladder in almost all communities. For a women to become a successful entrepreneur, she needs access to capital, technical and managerial know-how and market.

 

The essence to empower rural women lies in catalyzing appropriate economic activities at the grass root level and creating new opportunities for them to earn higher income in order to improve their standard of living.

 

This is particularly true in rural areas, where women are generally very involved in productive work but lack access to assets they need to play that role effectively. As a result of this imbalance, rural women are often more vulnerable to poverty than men, and their limited ability to secure assets independently makes them more likely to be negatively affected by ongoing changes in rural markets and institutions.
