Abstract:
This paper explores the transformative role of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in empowering women
through technology-based language teaching, with a focus on education, safety, and awareness. ICT has emerged as a powerful tool to
bridge educational gaps, offering women in remote and underserved areas access to quality language learning resources, digital
literacy, and vocational training. Beyond education, ICT platforms enhance women's safety by providing critical tools for reporting
gender-based violence, accessing emergency support, and promoting legal awareness. Moreover, technology fosters social advocacy,
enabling women to connect globally, amplify their voices, and engage in feminist movements. Despite its potential, challenges such as
the digital divide, cultural barriers, and online safety risks persist. This study highlights the dual role of ICT in not only advancing
women's educational opportunities but also in fostering a safer, more informed society. Ultimately, the integration of ICT in women's
empowerment strategies is pivotal for achieving gender equality and creating inclusive, sustainable communities.
