Women Empowerment and Inclusive Growth  (English, Paperback, An Edited Book)

This book, Women Empowerment and Inclusive Growth: Empowering Women and Enabling Progress, emerges from a commitment to center women’s experiences, voices, and leadership in the broader narrative of development and equity. The idea for this volume was born out of a recognition that while there is growing global awareness of gender disparities, there is still a pressing need to translate that awareness into inclusive policies, equitable practices, and transformative action. This edited collection brings together scholars, practitioners, and thought leaders who explore the diverse dimensions of women's empowerment—ranging from economic participation and political representation to technological inclusion, health equity, environmental leadership, and innovation. Each chapter examines both the progress made and the gaps that remain, offering case studies, critical analyses, and forward-looking strategies to guide future interventions. The contributors come from varied disciplinary backgrounds and geographic contexts, reflecting the intersectional and global nature of the issues addressed. Together, their insights provide a comprehensive understanding of how gender equality can be achieved through collaborative, inclusive, and multidimensional approaches. Whether you are a student, educator, policymaker, activist, or development practitioner, may this volume inform, inspire, and empower you to contribute to a more just and inclusive world.
