Abstract: Ethnic minority rural women are important participants in rural governance. Actively participating in rural governance not only concerns their basic rights, but also is a key issue for democratic and political progress in ethnic minority areas. Currently, the shackles of gender bias, the lack of economic dominance, the lack of discourse rights, and the constraints of educational poverty collectively constitute multidimensional obstacles for minority rural women to participate in rural governance. Based on this, from the perspective of empowerment, the backward gender cognition of ethnic minority rural women can be eradicated through institutional empowerment; Improving the economic foundation of ethnic minority rural women through economic empowerment, providing important chips for their participation in rural governance; Reconstruct the subjective thinking of ethnic minority rural women in participating in rural governance through discourse empowerment, and construct a discourse system of equal consultation between men and women; Cultivate the awareness of minority rural women’ s rights to participate in rural governance through cultural empowerment, and activate the endogenous motivation to participate in rural governance.
