Abstract: This article investigates the contribution of formal and non-formal education to female empowerment, emphasizing its role in promoting autonomy and the pursuit of gender equality. Analyzing these teaching methods can help deconstruct stereotypes and strengthen the female presence in different spheres. Through a literature review and case study analysis, we assessed the positive impact of education on women's self-esteem and leadership skills, in addition to identifying and discussing the obstacles faced in accessing and remaining in educational institutions. The results reveal that although education is an effective path to women's empowerment, there are still significant barriers to overcome before they can realize their full potential. This reinforces the urgency of public policies and social initiatives that promote inclusive and equitable education. In this way, education is an essential element for empowerment, expanding opportunities and strengthening women's ability to challenge and transform sociocultural patterns that restrict their integral development.
