Women’s empowerment as a sub-discipline of gender studies is well researched but remains controversial and unresolved. The study explores women empowerment in the context of Command Agriculture in Zimbabwe for the furtherance of the feminist social work and gender discourse. The study was guided by the feminist social work and the gender integration analytical frameworks to untangle the Command Agriculture ecosystems with food security. In its field work manipulations, the study deployed a qualitative research approach underpinned by purposive sampling to select research interlocutors from the population of women in the rural community of Rafingora, Zimbabwe. The findings show that women empowerment emerged in farming communities as evidenced by asset acquisition by women beneficiaries, improved household food security, ability to provide on social services and social standing in the households and community at large. However, the study also established that the women empowerment drive was limited due to the lack of a feminist lens as well as gender neutrality of the government programme. Thus, the study concludes that the limited women empowerment cases in Rafingora were a result of individualistic and agentic behaviour, hence, government ought to prioritise women in its policies.
