dc.description.abstractThis chapter examines the unique challenges and opportunities faced by rural women entrepreneurs, shaped by socio-economic and cultural factors. Key challenges include limited access to financial resources, inadequate infrastructure, restrictive societal norms, all of which hinder business growth and sustainability. Financial barriers are significant, as rural women often lack the collateral and credit histories required by traditional lending institutions, limiting their access to necessary capital. Social norms further restrict women's ability to pursue entrepreneurship, prioritizing household roles over business activities and limiting access to networks and mentorship. Infrastructural deficiencies, such as poor transportation and unreliable communication, also impede operations and competitiveness. However, emerging opportunities, such as sustainable development and digital platforms, provide rural women with new markets and ways to connect with consumers. Addressing these challenges will empower rural women and contribute to inclusive economic development in rural communities. © 2025 by IGI Global Scientific Publishing. All rights reserved.
