Abstract
This study explores the role of rural women entrepreneurship in sustainable development. Traditionally seen working for others, rural women are now becoming influential entrepreneurs. By reviewing 40 research publications from 2016–2024, this study highlights key findings and gaps, offering insights for policymakers and researchers. Rural women entrepreneurs face significant barriers. Digital tools enhance operations, but access is limited. Government policies are supportive but vary in effectiveness. Successful interventions include development programs and partnerships. NGOs provide crucial training, resources, and advocacy. The study suggests enhancing digital access, tailoring policies, strengthening NGO-government collaboration, continuous monitoring, and promoting best practices to support rural women entrepreneurs, fostering sustainable development and gender equality.
