Abstract: The study explores the pivotal role of women’s education in fostering comprehensive social, economic, and cultural change. It examines how education empowers women to participate fully in decision-making, enhances economic productivity, improves health outcomes, and promotes gender equality. Drawing upon theoretical frameworks such as Human Capital Theory, the Capability Approach, and Feminist Pedagogy, the research highlights the historical evolution, current challenges, and far-reaching impacts of educating women. Case studies and global policy examples demonstrate how women’s education creates intergenerational benefits, breaking cycles of poverty and illiteracy while aligning with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. The study also addresses persistent barriers—including cultural norms, economic constraints, and safety concerns—and offers policy recommendations for ensuring universal access to quality education for girls and women. By emphasizing both the practical and transformative dimensions of women’s education, this research underscores its necessity as a foundation for inclusive, equitable, and sustainable societal development.
