Impact of corporate social responsibility (CSR) on women development: A case based study - ASCI: Journal of Management - 52(1), Mar, 2023: p.114-30

This study report provides an in-depth analysis of the beneficial effects of corporate social responsibility (CSR) on women's lives. It examines how CSR can significantly aid women's development and success in the modern world by reviewing extensive research and conducting original studies. The analysis focuses on various criteria, including workplace practices that ensure equal pay and opportunities for women. Our findings indicate that businesses that properly implement CSR can significantly improve women's lives by assisting them in starting their own enterprises, advancing their careers, and securing leadership positions. Furthermore, CSR helps ensure fair treatment for women both in the workplace and in society at large. However, not all efforts are equally effective; sometimes, businesses engage in token efforts that only appear to support women superficially. It is crucial for companies to integrate support for women into their core business strategies rather than treating it as a side activity. The objectives of this research paper are to clarify how CSR contributes to women's empowerment and to discuss measures that support women's empowerment within the context of CSR in organizations. Through their CSR programs, businesses can focus on educating and empowering women to combat inequality. In essence, this study demonstrates that through CSR, businesses have the potential to significantly improve the lives of women. Therefore, if businesses and leaders want to make a positive impact on the world for women, they should take CSR seriously and integrate it into all aspects of their operations.- Reproduced
