Background of the Study
Women empowerment is essential for achieving gender equality, reducing poverty, and fostering sustainable development. Public relations (PR) serves as a critical tool in promoting women empowerment programs by raising awareness, advocating for policy changes, and engaging stakeholders. In Kumo Local Government Area (LGA), Gombe State, various women empowerment programs aim to address challenges such as limited access to education, financial exclusion, and gender-based discrimination. However, the effectiveness of these programs often hinges on strategic PR efforts. Studies by Ibrahim and Ahmed (2023) emphasize the importance of PR strategies such as media advocacy, community engagement, and stakeholder collaboration in enhancing women empowerment initiatives. This study examines the effectiveness of PR in promoting women empowerment programs in Kumo LGA.
