Abstract

In the pursuit of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the empowerment of rural women through entrepreneurship emerges as a pivotal strategy for fostering inclusive growth and sustainable development. This chapter explores the intersection of digital technologies and entrepreneurship as catalysts for economic empowerment among rural women. By leveraging digital platforms, innovative business models, and targeted support systems, rural women can overcome traditional barriers to entrepreneurship, including limited access to markets, resources, and information. Through a comprehensive analysis, this chapter demonstrates how empowering rural women entrepreneurs not only aligns with SDGs such as gender equality (SDG 5), decent work and economic growth (SDG 8), and reduced inequalities (SDG 10) but also promotes sustainable communities and innovation. Ultimately, the integration of digital technologies in entrepreneurship provides a transformative pathway for rural women's empowerment, fostering resilience and sustainable development in rural regions.
