Women are deprived from the capacities and capabilities needed for poverty reduction. The anxieties of women falling into the group of “poorest of the poor” has resulted in the development of different approaches including “Women Empowerment”. It seems the Process of empowerment of the poor women requires changes in all the institutions which have deprived them from the capabilities and have put them at the risk of poverty. This article presents part of the findings of a research conducted by the methods of group discussion and survey among the female headed households of Arak (a city in central part of Iran).
