Abstract

Digital empowerment of women is the process of enhancing women’s abilities and skills using technology so they can contribute to the economy and society. This research examines how digital technology might improve Omani women’s access to education, employment, and entrepreneurial opportunities, highlighting the benefits and challenges of this empowerment. Finding the factors that have led to Omani women’s success and analysing how they use digital technologies to empower themselves both personally and professionally are the objectives of the study. By combining statistical analysis, qualitative and quantitative research, and a review of the literature, the study investigates how women in Oman use digital technology. To advise platform providers, educators, and the business community on how to promote women’s support and digital inclusion, it looks at recent studies and current models.
