Empirical evidence suggests that women's empowerment has far-reaching benefits on the lives of women, families, and society than expected. Development economists have gone ahead and even prophesied that investments in women have the highest returns in developing countries. Female deprivation is both a cause and a consequence of the vicious cycle of poverty. Despite being a tool for change in society, poverty hits women hardest in developing countries. Women's empowerment is catalyzing and fundamental to achieving better development. Amartya Sen said that “What is fundamental is not only freedom of action, but also freedom of thought and the ability to overcome parochial boundaries of thought.” (Sen) First and foremost, what the world needs is a change in attitudes towards women and governments around the world. the world has a huge role to play in achieving this change. Women in Haiti are the backbone of the informal economy. They are the true heroes or perhaps in this case the heroines par excellence of the family, society and the nation. Haiti is one of the few developing countries to have realized, relatively early in the development process, the true potential of women in driving economic development. (Field) Although Haitian women are showing enormous potential to promote growth through collective action and are establishing an identity for themselves, neoliberal globalization has fostered gender growth in Haiti. Therefore, in this global struggle there is an urgent need for action by the Haitian government to provide additional opportunities for women to facilitate economic development. Significant development can be achieved if all women have access to basic education. For a country like Haiti that is rebuilding itself... middle of paper... tics and governance. (Beautiful) Because of this hostility from society and inaction from the state, women's groups are unable to survive. The State has an active role in this regard, it should recognize that women are fundamental to the reconstruction of Haiti and to design policies that meet the needs of the female workforce. Mainstream development economists argue that investments in women could pay off in the long run with high economic growth. costs; such investments are not economically sustainable for a developing country with limited resources, but all evidence suggests otherwise. Women have the extraordinary power to be enlightened agents of economic change; an economy that allows women to prosper and develop will henceforth emerge as a sustainable economy. Looking at this relationship, public action and government intervention should facilitate the growth of these agents of change.
