Due to the drying up trend of Lake Urmia and the destruction of its wetlands and also the serious threat to the plant and animal species of the region, the role of local communities in this process is essential. Since women also have an influential role in these communities, so any success in these projects will happen with the cooperation of women in local communities, and in this regard, the need to empower rural women seems very necessary.
Women's empowerment is one of the goals of development from a human and justice-oriented perspective. In fact, it means increasing cognition and self-awareness, reliability and expanding women's freedom of choice by themselves.
