\nThis study investigates how women artisans in rural Sindh, Pakistan\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdwhere female labor force participation is only 21%\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdachieve empowerment and financial independence through traditional handicrafts. Focusing on those associated with Sindh Rural Support Organization (SRSO), the research explores their economic and social growth over a decade. Using qualitative methods such as semi-structured interviews and focus groups with five artisan groups, the study highlights the critical role of social capital, leadership, and trust-based networks in fostering resilience, mobility, and legitimacy within patriarchal settings. Theoretical frameworks by Coleman, Bourdieu, and Ben-Porath guide the analysis, emphasizing how interpersonal ties and support from organizations like SRSO and JICA contribute to collective development. The findings demonstrate that women’s craft-based livelihoods not only generate income but also help preserve Sindh’s cultural heritage. This research offers valuable insights into how empowering marginalized women through social networks can drive sustainable community development.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
