Women, Globalization and the International Women's Movement

Abstract

ABSTRACT Globalization is an attempt to intensify the exploitation of labour through a worldwide process of expropriation of workers (from their land, and acquired entitlements), disinvestment in the process of reproduction, and warfare. As such it is primarily an attack on women and reproduction. This article looks at the main forms of this attack, at the struggles that women are making in response, and the prospective for the construction of an international feminist movement.
