Gender equality and women’s empowerment in banking are crucial for driving inclusive economic growth and sustainable development. Financial institutions play a pivotal role in economies worldwide, making it necessary to ensure equal access and opportunities for women. This is not solely a matter of social justice but also strategic. By fully utilising women’s potential as clients, employees, and leaders, banks can foster innovation, talent, and economic productivity. Advancing gender equality in banking supports global efforts towards achieving Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), promoting resilience and inclusivity in financial systems for societal benefit. Topics covered in this chapter are as follows: barriers to women’s participation in banking; the importance, challenges, and opportunities of gender equality and women’s empowerment in banking (GEWEB) and the role of central banks in empowering women in banking.
