This study aims to analyze the effect of financial literacy and financial inclusion on women's empowerment. The economic empowerment of women has an important role in achieving gender equality and sustainable development. However, many women still have difficulties accessing financial services and understanding important financial concepts. Therefore, this study aims to examine the relationship between financial literacy and financial inclusion in women's empowerment. This research method involves collecting primary data through questionnaires distributed to a sample of housewives who live in West Java. Secondary data is also used to support the analysis. The variables studied included the level of women's financial literacy, financial planning, financial decision, financial crisis, the level of financial inclusion experienced, and the level of women's economic empowerment. Data analysis was performed using descriptive statistical methods and regression analysis. The research results are expected to reveal the extent to which the level of financial literacy and financial inclusion contributes to women's empowerment. In addition, this research also has the potential to provide a better understanding of the factors that can increase women's economic empowerment through a financial approach. It is hoped that this research can make a significant contribution to increase public awareness and understanding of the importance of financial literacy and financial inclusion in women's empowerment. Relevant policy implications are also expected to be generated to promote women's access to inclusive financial services and increase their participation in economic activities.
