Empowerment of women through the microcredit...

After more than three decades of work in the field of microcredit seems clear that facilitate women's access to financial resources is a valuable opportunity to contribute to their empowerment. Although it is considered that the empowerment of women is a key factor of development, yet it seems clear to what extent microfinance promote it. On the one hand, women are considered as the main target of such actions, as part of the poorest and most vulnerable group of humanity; and secondly, the emphasis is on investment in capacities of women as a means of empowerment, which in turn contributes to higher economic growth and development.
