Abstract

Empowering women has been recognized as a crucial aspect of sustainable development, societal progress, and gender equality. Education and skill- building programs play a pivotal role in this endeavor by equipping women with the knowledge, skills, and confidence necessary to actively participate in economic, social, and political spheres. This paper provides a comprehensive review of the multifaceted role of education and skill-building programs in empowering women, exploring their impact on various aspects of women's lives, including economic independence, health, decision-making abilities, and overall well-being. Drawing on a wide range of scholarly literature and empirical evidence, this review highlights the importance of targeted interventions and inclusive policies to ensure the effectiveness and sustainability of such programs. Additionally, it discusses challenges and potential areas for future research and policy interventions aimed at further advancing women's empowerment through education and skill development.
