Abstract

The study builds on the unified theory of acceptance and technology using a qualitative research approach to explore how digitalisation and financial inclusion enhance women’s entrepreneurial engagements and address gender constraints and urban inequalities. The paper presents primary data from current research on women’s entrepreneurial activities and addresses gender constraints and urban inequalities. The findings revealed that digital and financial access enhances women’s engagement in entrepreneurship by addressing socio-spatial challenges such as gendered social and physical mobility. Therefore, the government should invest in digital technology in marginalised urban regions and implement proper gendered policy recommendations.
