Women in Globalization

When we think of globalization we think of people around the world linked to the people places and things of the world closer through work, trade, and cultures. A very important branch of globalization is women work and how the women are treated in general. Women play an important role when it comes to globalization, but they also face discrimination at the same time.

According to my link women and globalization, globalization is affecting women by discriminating them through jobs and politics. Think of the higher ranking jobs all over the world.   How many of those jobs are held by men?   Many jobs are male dominant, and women are having difficulty working their way into these areas. In some countries, the only jobs that women can get are jobs in sweatshops with little pay. Another way that globalization affects women is through politics. Politics discriminates against women by ignoring them. Again, how many governments can you think of that are mainly run by women? The reason why globalization affects women in the form of government is because most of the countries have some form male dominated governments and it is hard for women to get into those positions.

Globalization isn't all bad for women; it actually helps them in some ways. Globalization helps women much like it helps everyone on the planet. Globalization helps women by being able to unite a large group of people with very little effort through technology and trade.  Globalization affects us all, some of us in a good way some of us not so much. Women work hard for what they receive and shouldn't be overlooked.
