| Summary: | We examined how empowerment of Muslim women influences social exclusion. A total of 101 Muslim women
from rural areas, under below poverty line, were selected using probability sampling. We measured
empowerment and social exclusion using standardized measures and data were analysed at univariate, bivariate
and multivariate levels. Analysis reveals that overall scores on empowerment was moderate and high level of
social exclusion. Empowerment subscales viz., domestic consultation (β=.194) and political empowerment
(β=.199) have significantly contributed to social exclusion. It reveals that how empowerment alongside with
socio-demographic variables such as duration of marriage (β=.534), age (β=-.407) and education (β=.371)
influenced social exclusion. The study concludes that less empowerment significantly accelerate social
exclusion. Implications of the results are discussed |
