摘要：
This article discusses the empowerment of women factory workers in Malaysia through the lens of Kabeer's Social Relations Approach. The approach offers an institutional analysis of how gender inequality is produced and calls for the overall terms of exchange and cooperation to be shifted in women's favour. Its application shows that Malaysian women factory workers face significant challenges, due to the character of institutions, and women's difficulties in adopting and internalising the notion of 'empowerment'.
