Abstract
The process of globalization, financial integration, free trade and investment has profoundly transformed the lives of women through out the world. Globalization policies have been preceded by national adjustment proposals, privatization of state enterprises, restructuring of employment policies from secure employment to flexible, temporary work, relaxation of labour laws, etc. which leads to the opening of markets. The world Bank and IMF have created an unjust packet of neo-liberal policies called Structural Adjustment Policies (SAP) and caused enormous difficulties for poor nations. Furthermore, behind the whole process of globalization unscrupulous employers are abusing the basic rights of a predominant young female workforce. This study has been designed to find out the effects of globalization on women’s health and their lives and show the human cost of the globalization experiment in Pakistan.
