dc.description.abstractThis chapter examines the transformative impact of digital tools on the economic empowerment of rural women, highlighting how mobile phones, internet access, and digital financial services enhance women's access to vital resources, including information, markets, and financial services. Mobile technology, particularly mobile banking and money services, has enabled secure transactions, empowering women to save, borrow, and invest independently. Access to digital tools also bridges the knowledge gap between rural and urban areas by providing women with critical information on market trends, agricultural practices, and more, which supports informed decision making and productivity. Furthermore, digital platforms facilitate ongoing skill development and networking, allowing rural women to engage in collaborative communities. Despite these advancements, challenges such as limited digital literacy, infrastructure, and cultural barriers persist requiring targeted policy interventions to foster inclusive digital empowerment. © 2025 by IGI Global Scientific Publishing.
