B. M. SHARMA AND ABHISHEK SHARMA
The era
of
globalisation is a symbolic landmark in the domain
of
international arena. The article has brought out a good
indication
from
the United Nations report on
women's
conditions indicating the activities
of
art
and
challenging
attributes in this regard

faith and cultural specifications.
The contex(uality
of
globalisation is a tenor
of
hope
and
aspiration
to
the greatest nuances
of
global
peace
and
tranquility in the cosmic context and contentions.
GLOBALISATION CONTINUES to be a very contested and controversial
concept
of
our times. For the study
of
gender human rights, it is essential
to understand globalisation. Feminist writers have provided various
approaches to describe globalisation debate which collectively emphasise
gender as central to our understanding
of
the material, ideological and
discursive dimensions
of
globalisation.1 Feminist work on globalisation
addresses a number
of
core concerns : the changing role
of
the state and
relationship between the state, the market and the household, particularly
in regard to health and social welfare provisions; the impacts
of
global
restructuring, notably changing working practices and new forms and
conditions
of
employment; new and enduring forms
of
inequality, including
inequalities in the distribution
of
resources both locally and globally; the
domain
of
national, regional and international governance and how ideas
are themselves significant in producing and reproducing certain kinds
of
social relations
of
inequality.2
