Pemberdayaan Dan Peran Strategis Wanita Wirausaha Dari Cita- Cita Kartini Hingga Penggerak UMKM

Abstrak

 

Women's empwerment and their strategic role in entrepreneurship are increasingly crucial for economic strengthening. This community service program aims to examine R.A. Kartini's ideals of equality and independence for women in their participation in Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in Indonesia. The study results show that women entrepreneurs play a significant role in improving household welfare and economic productivity. However, they still face various obstacles, such as limited access to training, challenges in technological mastery, difficulties in financial management, and limited opportunities to obtain formal financing. This study emphasizes that efforts to empower women in MSMEs require comprehensive support, including capacity-building training, business plan development, marketing network development, and increased digital literacy. Strengthening cross-sector collaboration between the government, educational institutions, industry, and civil society organizations is also essential to creating an inclusive entrepreneurial ecosystem. With this support, women entrepreneurs can become more independent, competitive, and able to sustain their businesses, while aligning with Kartini's vision for inclusive and equitable development.
