Abstract:
Notwithstanding their contribution to the development of any society, women are the underclass.
Their participation in social, economic, and political spheres could be limited because of illiteracy. To
improve their involvement, providing adult education is incontestable. This article examines Ethiopian
women’s empowerment through Integrated Functional Adult Education, using social, economic, and political
dimensions. The paper confirms that providing adult education programs to illiterate women improved their
day-to-day lives. The study concluded that Integrated Functional Adult Education improves women’s lives in
social and economic dimensions. However, the study also found that women’s participation and
empowerment in political issues remain unimproved.
