Collective microenterprises is an important mechanism to empower women by creating or improving income generation; improving women's knowledge, participation and power; and influencing the distribution of responsibilities in the household, contributing to reducing gender inequality. When considering the forest environment, microenterprise importance is connected with interactions between natural forest resource management, environmental policies, community forestry, and markets that can enable the maintenance of forests by economic use, generating income for forest communities, and creating new market connections.

520 $a Collective microenterprises is an important mechanism to empower women by creating or improving income generation; improving women's knowledge, participation and power; and influencing the distribution of responsibilities in the household, contributing to reducing gender inequality. When considering the forest environment, microenterprise importance is connected with interactions between natural forest resource management, environmental policies, community forestry, and markets that can enable the maintenance of forests by economic use, generating income for forest communities, and creating new market connections.
520 $a The objective is to understand the factors that influenced the emergence of rural women's collective microenterprise groups, and how women perceive the effects of their involvement in collective microenterprises on their economic empowerment. This study used a qualitative research design, combining the use of data from a rural women's collectives microenterprise network survey (2003 and 2008), with individual interviews with 65 rural women participants of eleven collective microenterprise groups in the states of Para and Acre, Brazil.
520 $a Results showed that emergence of rural women's collective microenterprises was supported by three factors: (1) the expansion of the rural women's movement wherein 95% of collective microenterprise were strongly linked with social movements and the Catholic Church; (2) environmental attention to the Amazon forest -- 88% of the collective microenterprises studied work with raw material from the forest; (3) and evolution of public policy for women in Brazil, which had a smaller contribution to the emergence of collective microenterprises, as only 15% received technical support from government sources and 20% received financial support from both the government and the private sector. Despite still strong traditional gender roles in the Brazilian Amazon region and the fact that empowerment is an individual process and occurs gradually, these rural women participants of collective microenterprise perceived an increase in their own empowerment from various aspects of microenterprise participation. They obtained greater visibility inside and outside of the household, greater knowledge about their environment, and more power to make decisions and negotiate relationships in the household. This study contributes to the literature about the effects of microenterprises on women's economic empowerment.
