The data highlights a significant trend, revealing that 52% of women lack the knowledge on how to open a Fixed Deposit (FD) account. This points towards a potential financial dependency or, alternatively, a gap in financial literacy.

This statistic suggests either a notable financial dependency or a potential lack of information and awareness about individual financial matters among women who choose not to file taxes independently. It underscores the importance of delving into financial literacy to address knowledge gaps, empowering women to make more informed and self-reliant financial decisions.

As an advocate for women's empowerment, I am committed to utilizing technology to instigate positive community transformations.
Growing up in China, India, and the Middle East, and as an IBDP student, I deeply understand diverse cultures, shaping my perspective on effecting meaningful change.
As part of an internship at Zene za Zene, I immersed myself in a digital literacy project to empower underprivileged women. This experience served as a realization of the potential that technology holds as a force for positive change.
This commitment is reflected in the Women Empowerment and Gender Equality initiative, where I believe in using technology to bridge gaps, create opportunities, and promote inclusivity.
I aim to be a driving force for positive change in technology-driven women's empowerment.
