abstract
Women play a crucial role in the development of families, society, and communities. Their contributions extend beyond paid labour in producing goods and services for the market and household consumption, including agriculture, family businesses, and food production, to significant unpaid work. A woman entrepreneur not only generates income for herself but also creates employment opportunities for other local women. In our country, the high literacy rate and low economic status of women highlight the need to enhance their economic participation.
