Abstract

Globalization is all about making things Global. It is a phenomenon that integrates local products, services and cultures into a global culture defined by the world’s economic and political super powers. The global flow of capital, commodities people and information which is the hallmark of globalization connotes equal exchanges and sharing of goods and services between countries and cultures. There are however, fears that globalization is creating increased gender inequalities. Nigeria like most other Sub-Saharan African States, exists with entrenched and endemic gender inequality. This article appraises globalization and its effect in general, and ultimately to determine its effect (positive and negative) on gender equality and rights in Nigeria.
