Five years on, Pathways has generated a rich and varied portfolio of studies: over 825 outputs, of which around 100 are journal articles, 60 are working papers or research reports, and around 50 are popular media – newspaper articles, documentary films, or photography exhibitions. Our findings have led us to understand women’s empowerment as a journey, not a destination. Understanding what enables women to embark on these journeys, what pathways are available to them, which routes they take, and what assists them along the way is essential if we are to support women to empower themselves.
