Keywords: women’s education, gender equality, literacy, empowerment, developing countries, educational barriersAbstract
Although millions of women in underdeveloped nations continue to encounter
major obstacles in obtaining high-quality education, education is essential for both
social and economic development. The present status of women's education in
developing countries is examined in this study, which highlights important issues such
gender discrimination, cultural norms, budgetary limitations, and poor infrastructure.
The report also looks at the advantages of expanding educational opportunities and
literacy among women, highlighting the ways that education empowers women and
improves their health, lowers poverty, and strengthens economies. Closing the gender
gap in education requires international aid programs, community involvement, and
government legislation, according to the research. Additionally, covered are
suggestions for developing equal and inclusive educational systems.
