Empowerment Of Rural Muslim Women Through Entrepreneurship In Haryana: A Case Study

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: The study titled "Empowerment of Rural Muslim Women through Entrepreneurship in Haryana: A Case Study" explores the multifaceted challenges and successes faced by rural Muslim women entrepreneurs in Haryana, with a focus on socio-cultural barriers, financial constraints, the role of government schemes, and the broader community impact. Through interviews and case studies, the findings highlight how patriarchal family structures, religious conservatism, and rigid gender roles restrict women's entrepreneurial ambitions. Many women face opposition from their families and communities, particularly regarding mobility and public participation. Financial challenges, such as limited access to capital and discriminatory practices by financial institutions, further inhibit their progress. Government schemes, while beneficial, are often inaccessible due to bureaucratic processes and lack of awareness. The study highlights the resilience and creativity of rural Muslim women who overcome socio-cultural barriers to achieve financial independence, challenge traditional norms, and empower their communities through entrepreneurship.
