In Gadia lohar community women play an important role not only in shaping the family but also in shaping the iron tools and equipment. This paper focuses on the role of Gadia Lohar women in improving livelihoods as micro-entrepreneurs; they manage businesses on their own to improve the financial condition of the family. Still, there is no vocational education and training outside the house and family, they are bound to live in deplorable living conditions and lack the needed support from the government in accessing health and sanitation facilities. Study found that women of gadia lohar community are involved in the same old business and mostly remain unpaid workers of the house, while adding to the family income. Their participation is very less in all decision-making related to the house and business matters. Furthermore, this paper makes some suggestions and recommendations to empower and to improve the situation of Gadia Lohar women individually and collectively.
