What have been the effects of globalization on women's lives? Why have women been affected in these particular ways? Do you think that men have been affected in some of these ways as well?
What will be an ideal response?
• Increasing global interconnectedness has resulted in social problems that transcend national boundaries.
• Among these problems are the plights of women refugees escaping the ravages of war, the mass emigration of immigrants escaping personal and political violence, sex trafficking, and women used as "mules" to transport illegal drugs across the borders.
• The war on drugs is a war of global proportions and its impacts fall on the shoulders of women.
• The impact of market-driven measures of capitalism is evidenced by the reduction of social services through cutbacks, the privatizations of series, and the de-professionalism of workers.
• The loss of welfare benefits and services by the state has increased the numbers of homeless young people roaming the streets which has intensified the vulnerability of girls and women to sexual victimization, sexual exploitation, and drug use.
