Empowering Women Through Online Services: A Multi-Service Platform for Women Empowerment

This paper presents SheWorks, an online platform designed to support women who run home-based or small-scale businesses and help them grow into larger services. Many women struggle to promote their products, reach customers, or use multiple digital tools. Women running home-based businesses often face challenges such as low visibility, limited market access, lack of digital knowledge, and restricted income opportunities. With the growth of online platforms, digital tools have emerged as powerful enablers for women entrepreneurs; however, existing solutions are fragmented and lack integrated support. This paper presents SheWorks, an online platform designed to empower women by helping them showcase their skills, connect with customers, and build independent home-based careers. A structured literature review highlights limitations in current systems such as small datasets, single-domain focus, limited payment options, and absence of integrated training or marketplace support. SheWorks addresses these gaps by offering a multi-category service listing, secure communication, professional profiles, diverse payment modes, and user-friendly tools that support women of all age groups and literacy levels. The platform aims to promote inclusivity, economic independence, and sustainable digital entrepreneurship.
