Microfinance empowers women, but structural barriers still limit true gender equality.

This video critically examines the limitations and criticisms of microfinance in achieving gender equality. While microfinance improves women’s access to credit and economic participation, financial empowerment alone does not guarantee social or structural equality. Issues such as increased work burden, male appropriation of loans, limited decision-making power, and persistent patriarchal norms restrict its full impact. Gender equality requires broader social transformation, legal awareness, and institutional reforms. Microfinance should be seen as a powerful starting point, but not a complete solution for achieving sustainable gender justice. 🔑 Key Points: Increased work burden on women Male control over loan utilization Financial empowerment vs full equality Structural and cultural barriers 📌 Keywords: Microfinance, Gender Equality, Women Empowerment, SHG, Financial Inclusion, SDG 5, Rural Development 🔖 Hashtags: #Microfinance #GenderEquality #WomenEmpowerment #SHG #FinancialInclusion #SDG5 #RuralFinance #SocialChange
