GLOBALIZATION � WOMEN EMPOWERMENT AND HEALTH

Dr. Y. Rajasekhar

Abstract :

 The paper intends to spotlight the plight of the women health and empowerment in the globalization context. The present wave of globalization has highly improved the lives of women worldwide, particularly the lives of women in the developing world. In fact, women remain disadvantaged in many areas of life, including employment, education, health and civil rights. Women face many injustices and inequalities globally, both in terms of economic factors and human rights. An often overlooked aspect of this phenomenon is their health for example, the world health organization points out that "maternal mortality has barely changed since 1990. This fact points to the great need for a specific focus on women‘s health issues. Women in the many parts of the world remain more susceptible to poor health because of lack of services and lack of education and information about health issues.
