This research delves into the transformative journey from conscientization to liberation within the context of Paulo Freire’s educational paradigm and its specific implications for women’s empowerment. Grounded in critical pedagogy, the study explores how Freire’s theories of conscientization, or critical consciousness-raising, contribute to the emancipation of women in educational settings and beyond. Through a comprehensive literature review, the research establishes the theoretical foundations of Freire’s pedagogy and its potential to challenge oppressive structures that perpetuate gender inequalities. The research methodology used for this study is qualitative research approach. Data for the study has been collected from various primary and secondary data sources, including books, reports, and research articles. By analyzing these narratives, the study seeks to identify the mechanisms through which conscientization, as facilitated by Freire’s methods, fosters a sense of empowerment among women. The research also explores the role of dialogue, participatory learning, and critical reflection in the process of women’s liberation. The findings of this research contribute to the ongoing discourse on the intersection of critical pedagogy and women’s empowerment, providing insights into practical applications and the potential for broader social transformation. By elucidating the journey from conscientization to liberation, this study underscores the relevance of Paulo Freire’s educational paradigm in advancing gender equity and fostering empowered communities.
