Abstract
This desk research aims to study the challenges of empowering women released from correctional institutions and to analyze the main obstacles they face after release in light of previous literature and studies, ultimately proposing practical mechanisms to enhance their empowerment and integration into society. The research relied on the analytical desk method by reviewing scientific sources, reports, and related intervention programs. The challenges were organized into four main axes: social challenges (social stigma, weak support networks, disrupted family relations), economic challenges (unemployment, limited professional skills, weak financial stability), educational challenges (low qualifications, skills gap, limited access to continuous training), and organizational challenges (lack of coordination between entities, fragmented services, limited follow-up after release).
The research also discussed multi-level empowerment mechanisms, including psychological and social empowerment, life skills building, economic empowerment through training, employment, and entrepreneurship, and improving access to education and rehabilitation, in addition to developing governance, institutional coordination, and follow-up services. The research concluded that empowering released women requires an integrated approach linking the individual, family, community, and institutions, emphasizing the sustainability of support and impact measurement, which contributes to enhancing social integration and reducing the likelihood of setbacks and returning to problems.
