This conceptual case study explores the transformative potential of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in empowering women, focusing specifically on women's cooperatives in Sarawak, Malaysia. Women's cooperatives in Sarawak serve as crucial platforms for addressing gender disparities and economic inequalities. This study investigates how the integration of ICT can enhance the capacity, outreach, and impact of these cooperatives. By examining successful global examples and the specific challenges faced by cooperatives, the paper highlights how ICT tools can improve communication, capacity building, market access, and resource management. It also addresses obstacles such as digital divides, the need for effective training, and cultural and linguistic barriers. The aim is to provide insights into leveraging ICT to create more inclusive and equitable opportunities for women in Sarawak, showcasing technology as a catalyst for socio-economic empowerment and advancement.
