The research informants consisted of the Village Head of Ulee Madon, the Chairperson of the Family Welfare Empowerment Team, the owner of an Acehnese embroidered bag business, and female artisans engaged in the production of Acehnese embroidered bags. Data were analyzed using the Miles and Huberman interactive model, which includes data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The results indicate that women's empowerment in Ulee Madon Village is implemented through employment opportunities, skills training, guidance, and mentoring in the Acehnese embroidered bag business. These empowerment activities have enhanced women's knowledge, skills, and independence, enabling them to participate actively in productive economic activities.

In addition to increasing family income, the Acehnese embroidered bag business has made a positive contribution to community welfare while supporting the preservation of Acehnese local culture through the development of the creative industry.]]>
