Abstract: Women’s education plays a pivotal role in driving socio-economic growth, advancing gender equality, and shaping inclusive societies. Despite global progress, significant disparities persist in access, participation, and achievement in education among women, particularly in marginalized communities. This paper critically examines the role of policies and community-based interventions in bridging gender gaps in education. It analyzes historical efforts, global and national policies, grassroots initiatives, and sociocultural dynamics that influence educational access for women. The study emphasizes the intersection of education with poverty, social norms, and policy frameworks, highlighting success stories and persisting barriers. It argues that sustainable change requires a combination of inclusive policies, grassroots mobilization, and transformative pedagogy. The research underscores the need for gender-sensitive strategies, digital inclusion, teacher training, and partnerships between governments, NGOs, and communities to achieve educational equity. By adopting a rights-based, holistic approach, education can become a tool for empowerment rather than assimilation, equipping women to be agents of change in their families and societies.
