SHGs as Catalysts of women’s Empowerment: A Multi-Dimensional Review from Raipur, India

Abstract

There has been much focus on women's empowerment and gender equality recently.  When women fight against cultural and social limitations in order to improve their own lives, this is called women's empowerment.  Self-Help Groups (SHGs) have been an important tool for women's empowerment.  By giving them a voice, a social network, and financial independence, these organisations have made a significant difference in the lives of low-income women.  In SHGs, women band together to support each other when they face similar issues.  To better comprehend the effects of SHGs on women's lives, the essay explores members' first-hand accounts to reveal the advantages and disadvantages they face.
