Abstract
This study employs a qualitative thematic analysis approach to investigate the economic and social status of socially vulnerable women under the support of Khorasan Razavi Welfare Organization in 2024. The participants were 20 socially vulnerable women who shared their experiences and opinions through in-depth semi-structured interviews. The findings revealed that many women lack suitable professional skills and job opportunities, leading to an inability to find employment and secure financial resources. Additionally, social discrimination, psychological issues, and lack of social support are other major problems faced by these women. Data were analyzed using grounded theory methodology, including open coding, axial coding, and selective coding stages. The results indicated that socio-economic empowerment of vulnerable women requires comprehensive educational, counseling, and supportive programs. This research can serve as a practical guide for relevant organizations and policymakers to improve the living conditions of socially vulnerable women.
