Abstract	Re-integration after incarceration is a significant challenge for women prisoners worldwide. Women face distinct barriers due to gendered social roles, stigma, economic exclusion, and limited support systems, making re-entry into society more difficult than for male counterparts. This paper explores systemic, structural, psychological, and socio-economic challenges women face upon release, highlights gaps in policies and programs, and suggests evidence-based interventions to improve outcomes. The study emphasizes the need for a holistic and gender-responsive approach to rehabilitation and reintegration that extends beyond prison walls. Strengthening vocational training, psychological counselling, family reintegration mechanisms, and community-based support systems is essential to reduce recidivism and promote social inclusion. The research contributes to a deeper understanding of women’s incarceration and underscores the importance of policy reforms aimed at ensuring dignity, empowerment, and sustainable reintegration for women prisoners.
