Abstract

This academic article explores the role of Muslim women in the development of Thai society, analyzing four key dimensions: 1) promoting household and community economy, 2) education and skill development for social opportunities, 3) social and religious engagement for community strengthening, and 4) networking and self-reliance for social stability. The findings reveal that Muslim women play a crucial role in driving economic and social progress, yet challenges must be addressed for sustainable development. This article presents strategies to enhance the potential of Muslim women, ensuring their stronger participation in Thai society. The knowledge gained from this study can be applied to policy development and foster collaboration between the government, religious organizations, and community networks to promote equality and sustainable social development for Muslim women in Thailand.
