Ways Globalization Can Improve Gender Equality

Here are a few of the many ways globalization can have positive effects on equality for women.

Increased access to information through the internet and television

can provide information about life around the world. This information can empower women to learn more about their rights promoting the demand for better treatment and equal rights which will create a change in gender roles.   

 

Greater gender equality increases the ability of large companies to complete in internationally. International peer pressure from exposure on social media has discouraged discrimination while increasing the demands for better treatment of all workers.

                                                                                          
                                                                   

Global companies

                              

Economic opportunities have been increased for women due to a growth in the areas of information and communications technology (ICT).  Jobs in export and ICT industries require cognitive skills, not physical strength, which has increased the number of opportunities for women in both education and employment.
