| Over the last decade we come across more frequently with the term Globalisation. Globalisation is a process of increasing interdependence, interconnectedness and integration of economies and societies to such an extent that an event in one part of the world affects people in other parts of world. Advances in transportation and telecommunications infrastructure, including the rise of the Internet, play vital role in globalization. It is generating interdependence of economic and cultural activities of one corner of the world to other corner. More and more nations are becoming integrated into the global economy through trade and capital flows. Globalisation entered India around 1991. It automatically has its effect upon the women . It affects different groups of women in different places in different ways. Under globalisation networking of women in different corners of the world take place. Consequently, they may raise joint campaign on common concern. With the advent of global communication networks and cross-cultural exchange there seems to be a change in the status of women . However, globalisation has indeed promoted ideas and norms of equality for women that have brought about awareness and acted as a catalyst in their struggle for equitable rights and opportunities. The principle of gender equality is enshrined in the Indian Constitution in its Preamble, Fundamental Rights, Fundamental Duties and Directive Principles. The Constitution not only grants equality to women, but also empowers the State to adopt measures of positive discrimination in favour of women. |
