Empirical evidence suggests that women's empowerment has far greater benefits than expected on the lives of women, families, and society. Development economists have gone ahead and even prophesied that investing in women has the highest return in the developing world. The deprivation of women is both a cause and a consequence of the vicious circle of poverty. Although it is an instrument for change in society, poverty hits women hardest in developing countries. Women's empowerment is a catalyst and essential to achieving greater development.
