Unit on Women and Globalization

Despite continuing United Nations and state government efforts to the contrary, women in many parts of the world remain disadvantaged when compared with their male counterparts. This phenomenon is truly global in nature, spanning nearly all the continents, the areas of life and levels of society. In this unit, students will learn how globalization has helped lessen this phenomenon as well as in what additional ways globalization can be used to combat it. Students will prepare power point presentations about how one country is addressing these issues. Students will learn about the role of international and national policy in addressing the inequality of women.
