“…The findings of previous researchers, Guerra and Zhuravleva (2022), Brierley and Pereira (2023) stated that societies in Latin America view the position of men and women can be equally corrupt. Citizens expect bureaucratic men and women to distribute an equal share of their salaries with their extended families.…”

This research is quantitative research with a survey method that aims to obtain and determine the level of perception, namely on situational factors, perception factors, and object factors with research subjects namely women in 34 provinces in Indonesia. The sample in this study was women with an age range of 16 to 45 years with a total sample of 1,171 respondents and the distribution of research questionnaires was carried out online. The research finds that the situation factor which became the first indicator in this study, there were six questions given with an average of 78.62 or in the very good category range. The second indicator is the perception factor with eight questions that get an average of 60.34 so that it is included in the good category. The third indicator is the object factor with six questions that have a higher average value of 88.82 with an excellent category. This shows that the index of women’s perceptions of corruption cases in Indonesia has a very good index on the object factor, a good index on the situation factor, and a good index on the perception factor. However, women in Indonesia also perceive corruption as a normal thing and it has even become a culture in people’s lives. Therefore, it can be interpreted that corruption cases become objects or targets of events that are very influential in the minds or perceptions of women in Indonesia.

“…Regarding public procurement policies, the inclusion of women in the entire process can affect the quality of life of this group and their economic autonomy [36]. In addition, there is evidence that women tolerate acts of corruption less than men according to Guerra et al [37]. Following initiatives like the UK [38] that includes women in public processes in the European construction and industry.…”

In a public procurement process, corruption can occur at each stage, favoring a participant with a previous agreement, which can result in over-pricing and purchases of substandard products, as well as gender discrimination. This paper's aim is to detect biased purchases using a Spanish Language corpus, analyzing text from the questions and answers registry platform by applicants in a public procurement process in Ecuador. Additionally, gender bias is detected, promoting both men and women to participate under the same conditions. In order to detect gender bias and favoritism towards certain providers by contracting entities, the study proposes a unique hybrid model that combines Artificial Intelligence algorithms and Natural Language Processing (NLP). In the experimental work, 303,076 public procurement processes have been analyzed over 10 years (since 2010) with 1,009,739 questions and answers to suppliers and public institutions in each process. Gender bias and favoritism were analyzed using a Word2vec model with word embedding, as well as sentiment analysis of the questions and answers using the VADER algorithm. In 32% of cases (96,984 answers), there was favoritism or gender bias as evidenced by responses from contracting entities. The proposed model provides accuracy rates of 88% for detecting favoritism, and 90% for detecting gender bias. Consequently one-third of the procurement processes carried out by the state have indications of corruption and bias. In Latin America, government corruption is one of the most significant challenges, making the resulting classifier useful for detecting bias and favoritism in public procurement processes.

“…In comparison to women men are more prone to corrupt activities, bribery is a common practice in most businesses controlled by the men, and it was seen that less corrupt countries had more women in leading positions (DiRienzo and Das, 2019). This bulk of proof at multiple levels directed investigators to foretell that strategies that encouraged and aided gender equality would successfully trim down corruption (Guerra and Zhuravleva, 2022;Jha and Sarangi, 2018). Jha and Sarangi (2018) found out that lesser corruption to be concurrent with both women's existence in the labour force as well as in parliament by means of cross-country analysis.…”

Women have a prime importance in the developmental process of any state. The significance of this particular gender can be observed by the investments made in particular areas to raise gender equalities and women awareness. However, corruption inhibits economic growth even when women are putting their efforts into economic output. The current research has investigated the impact of women’s empowerment on economic growth with the moderating role of corruption through time series data from 1997 to 2019. This research adopted single and average methods for data analysis. The estimated outcomes showed a similar pattern: women’s empowerment is found to have a significant positive impact on economic growth. However, corruption is found to be moderating with an enhancing effect instead of a buffering effect. From the empirical investigation, it is concluded that more empowered women are likely to decline the corruption rate in selected BRICS countries. Because they began with the concept that women are essential to the process of economic growth, empowered women affiliated with the BRICS countries have been successful in enhancing their economic growth.
