How poverty combines with gender to disadvantaged women?

Poverty disproportionately affects women due to systemic gender inequalities, limiting their access to education, healthcare, and economic opportunities. Women in low-income households often bear the brunt of caregiving responsibilities, which can hinder their ability to pursue work or education. Additionally, social norms and discrimination can restrict their rights and resources, making it more challenging for them to escape the cycle of poverty. This intersection of poverty and gender creates a unique set of barriers that further marginalizes women, perpetuating inequality.
