How can this empowerment specifically help women?

Can you give us an example?

What about community impact?

Extension services play a crucial role in empowering women by providing them with knowledge and skills to improve their households. Can anyone think of a type of extension service?
Nutrition workshops?

Are there other examples of services?

Does this also help with community development?
