Summary. Microfinance services significantly empower rural women in Gujarat, India. The study surveyed 205 rural women and found that four key factors drive empowerment: improved socio-economic status, greater autonomy in life choices, enhanced family and social position, and positive attitudes toward child development. These findings help microfinance institutions, government agencies, and NGOs design policies that strengthen economic and social support for rural women.
