  • Women empowerment is essential for achieving sustainable development and social justice. Education plays a crucial role in empowering women by enhancing their knowledge, skills, and decision-making abilities.

Using a descriptive survey method, data were collected from women across different socio-economic backgrounds. The findings reveal that education significantly improves women’s awareness, economic independence, and participation in decision-making. However, challenges such as poverty, early marriage, and lack of educational facilities still hinder progress. The study suggests strengthening educational initiatives to enhance women empowerment.
