Globalization has had a significant impact on the lives of women in developing countries, which we will examine further in the two countries: Bangladesh and Kenya. In this article, globalization is defined as “a complex economic, political, cultural, and geographic process in which the mobility of capital, organizations, ideas, discourses, and people has taken a global or transnational form (Valentine Moghadam 1999). Globalization has more negative effects on women in third world countries like Kenya and Bangladesh. Companies hire people in third world countries, due to the cheap workforce. Companies like to hire more women than men in the low-wage workforce, because women “work in labor-intensive industries at lower wages than men would accept and in conditions that unions would not allow” (Moghadam 1999) . There has been a shift from the agricultural sector to the commercial and industrial sector which pays more. Women also experience social and economic injustices while working. Women generally hold a secondary status compared to males, both in the home and in the workplace. Although the female workforce in the industrial and commercial sectors receives higher wages than women working on farms, the wages are not sufficient to prevent them from depending on financial support from the men in their family. This in turn makes the female gender much more dependent and prone to exploitation in many ways. The inability of women workers to generate sufficient capital to support themselves and their families suggests that until wages rise alongside better working conditions, the Kenyan and Bangladeshi economies will continue to exist in poverty. At the same time, women are given the opportunity to work and become... middle of paper... helpless and helpless in various areas of their lives. People must be empowered by resisting these processes and participate in building viable economic and political alternatives. They should be massive reforms on people's basic needs and welfare and not on policies that favor international capital. Global imperialism should be replaced with global democratic governance of peoples, especially those vulnerable to exploitation in developing countries. It should be social justice and control of the means of production, which can be achieved through democratic empowerment because globalization disempowers people by shifting their productive forces. People should have the right to make decisions for themselves, and especially women who have demonstrated their ambition to work hard and contribute significantly to the country's GDP..
