Abstract
The unemployment rate in Nigeria is at a deplorable state as at the third quarter of 2018 rising from 18.8 percent in third quarter of 2017 to 23.1 percent in the third quarter of 2018. Therefore, in a country where the rate of unemployment is fast rising with hopelessness, the resultant effects mostly pose a wreck on the female gender as she is poorly encouraged for education, hence becoming vulnerable, molested, forced into sex trade, rape, premature marriage, domestic abuse and other forms of abuse. As a result of this, there is an urgent need to put into effect, mechanisms that would reduce or scrap the fast rising unemployment and its severe effects on the female gender. This study enumerates the importance of tie & dye craft as a means of empowerment for the female gender and analyzes the step by step procedures involved in its production in such a way that is learnable for a layman. The methodology used in this research include some literature reviews, one-on-one interviews and use of an autobiography. The study concludes that the practice of tie & dye, if embraced, can eliminate or reduce the incessant rate of unemployment among the female gender. It recommends, among others that both governments and nongovernmental organizations should create opportunities to encourage the development of tie & die as a major entrepreneur craft among the youths; especially the female gender
