Abstract
- The study aimed to explore the challenges and difficulties faced by Islamic financial inclusion through Islamic financial institutions (banks, microfinance, insurance) in women's economic empowerment in Yemen. This will lead to enhance women's place in economic development when finding appropriate solutions to these challenges. This study applied the qualitative approach by conducting in-depth interviews with the experts comprising eighteen respondents in Islamic financial institutions. The result of respondents showed that there are a number of challenges and difficulties associated with the environment that have implications for overall institutional action and directly or indirectly contribute to women's economic empowerment. Where customs and traditions constitute the biggest external challenge facing Islamic financial institutions, as well as women's financial illiteracy, and the unstable political conditions that Yemen is going through. In addition to internal topics associated with the policies of those institutions themselves, they are ultimately subject to the impact of external problems and challenges. Furthermore, the results of the study will help decision-makers to activate the role of compulsory in society and implement effective plans and strategies to empower women economically.
