Short Summary: Women in the North and South have struggled to protect the environment and reproductive rights, mobilised against poverty and racism, fought the inequalities imposed by structural adjustment policies (SAPs) and campaigned for human rights. Women Resist Globalisation brings together scholars and organisers to record and analyse women's grassroots activism in two key areas - claims to livelihood and human rights. Chapters with an economic focus include 'New Roots for Rights: Women's Responses to Population and Development Policies' by Navtej. This chapter devotes considerable attention to the impact of SAPs on women's lives. 'Nicaraguan Women in the Age of Globalisation', by Stephanie Linkogle looks at how the women's movement in Nicaragua has been shaped by globalisation including SAPs.
