Corporate globalisation destroys women's rights

BY SUE BOLAND

The quality of the majority of women's lives in the next few years will largely hinge on the success or failure of the international movement against neo-liberal globalisation.

Neo-liberal policies such as privatisation of government services, axing of welfare provisions, removing food and fuel subsidies, weakening unions and introducing consumption taxes while cutting company tax have increased poverty massively around the world over the last 20 years. Because women's economic position in capitalist society means that women tend to be economically dependent on male partners or parents, or work in lower paid and insecure jobs, increased poverty hits women harder.

CMAQ: Vie associative


Collectif à Québec: n'existe plus.

Ceci est un média alternatif de publication ouverte. Le collectif CMAQ, qui gère la validation des contributions sur le Indymedia-Québec, n'endosse aucunement les propos et ne juge pas de la véracité des informations. Ce sont les commentaires des Internautes, comme vous, qui servent à évaluer la qualité de l'information. Nous avons néanmoins une Politique éditoriale , qui essentiellement demande que les contributions portent sur une question d'émancipation et ne proviennent pas de médias commerciaux.

This is an alternative media using open publishing. The CMAQ collective, who validates the posts submitted on the Indymedia-Quebec, does not endorse in any way the opinions and statements and does not judge if the information is correct or true. The quality of the information is evaluated by the comments from Internet surfers, like yourself. We nonetheless have an Editorial Policy , which essentially requires that posts be related to questions of emancipation and does not come from a commercial media.
