Financial inclusion has emerged as a crucial driver of empowerment in marginalized areas, particularly among women. This article investigates the relationship between financial inclusion and women's empowerment via the lens of diversity and inclusion. By reviewing worldwide case studies, statistical analysis, and theoretical frameworks, we show how increasing access to financial services changes women's socioeconomic dynamics.Financial inclusion provides enhanced and more sustainable economic and social growth in the country. It aids in the empowerment of the underprivileged, poor, and women of society, with the goal of making them self-sufficient and well-informed enough to make better financial decisions. Financial inclusion considers the participation of vulnerable groups, such as the weaker sectors of society and low-income groups, depending on their level of access to financial services such as savings and payment accounts, credit insurance, and pensions, among others. India has a sizable population that lives in rural areas. The findings highlight that financial inclusion not only empowers women, but also fosters gender equity and overall economic development.
