Introduction

The term "globalization" refers to the increasing interdependence of the economies,


cultures, and populations throughout the world as a result of technology, cross-border trade in
goods and services, and flows of capital, labor, and information.

Gender, on the other hand is the socially constructed qualities of men, women, girls, and
boys. This covers interpersonal connections as well as the standards, mannerisms, and roles that
come with being a woman, man, girl, or boy. Gender is a social concept that differs from culture
to culture and can evolve over time.

Due to the hierarchy of gender, additional social and economic inequities are
compounded. The intersection between gender-based discrimination and other forms of prejudice
includes, but is not limited to, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, handicap, age, place of residence,
gender identity, and sexual orientation. The term "intersectionality" describes this.

This paper aims to narrow down the impact of globalization on norms and experiences
around gender. Today's world is characterized by the integration of men and women in all areas
of economy, society, culture and politics. Inequality is one of the longest-running global debates
that does not want to go away, despite the enormous progress made by globalization.

This has especially increased the empowerment of women, who have long been sidelined
on most issues. The concept of inequality mainly revolves around elements of justice and
equality. This is because many people are unaware of their role in ensuring an inclusive society.
Women may be more adversely affected by the process of globalization than men, due to gender-
specific inequalities and discrimination in all regions of the world.

To effectively address the challenges of gender inequality, relevant stakeholders have


appropriate priorities and develop strategies to address them. One of the priorities is to identify
the opportunities created by globalization and how they can be used to improve quality of life.

The purpose of this paper is to provide an overview of current knowledge about the
complex relationship between gender inequality on the one hand and economic liberalization
policies that underlie the globalization process on the other. Another objective is to discuss
various economic policy proposals and initiatives aimed at promoting gender equality in the
context of the global economy.
