Not sure about 'women empowerment', but 'factories' are a good thing, whether or not they're considered sweatshops.

A buddy works logistics for a shoe company. A few years ago they switched manufacturers. After the move the overseas factory they were using shutdown and he got an email a couple months later about how bad the factory shutdown was for the local population. Pretty horrific.

Yeah, definitely. In developing countries, these factories keep people from having to go back to far worse jobs or even criminal behaviour. They're absolutely necessary for a country to upgrade their economy.
