Introduction The 21st century has experienced globalization, which is the increase in the integration of nations. This integration has occurred in various aspects, including trade, culture, and politics. The globalization phenomenon has had various effects on all nations. It has led to significant changes in the economic, social, and cultural levels. By promoting the free movement of people, money, and ideas, globalization has resulted in social changes. One social issue that has been influenced by this phenomenon is gender inequality. Gender inequality arises when discrimination occurs based on gender. Almost universally, the system of gender inequality disadvantages women while men are allowed to dominate society. Metcalfe (2008) reveals that the eradication of gender inequalities is a global concern. Globalization has a positive effect on gender equality, and the paper will discuss the reasons why in terms of employment opportunities, treaties, and changing gender expectations. Globalization Promoting Gender Equity Globalization has increased the economic activities available for women in most nations. Seo-Young (2014) observes that a defining characteristic of globalization has been the massive exchanges of economic activities. This economic integration has fostered gender equality by promoting women employment in countries where women are not well represented in the labor force. Seguino and Grown (2006) asset that globalization has provided many opportunities for women to participate in paid labor activities and that this phenomenon has propelled women into labor markets in economies of varying structures. This assertion is confirmed by Seo-Young (2014), who observes that the trade openness brought about by globalization positively affects women’s economic rights. Societies that did not encourage their women to engage in paid labor have been forced to reconsider this as globalization has led to greater demand for labor. In the UAE, globalization has increased employment opportunities for women by generating jobs in export processing and administration (Metcalfe, 2008). Gender equity has, therefore, been enhanced by increasing women’s presence in the employment sector. Gender inequality has been reduced as nations ratify treaties that require them to avoid discrimination based on gender. One of the characteristics of globalization has been the increase in the number of international treaties made by nations. While most of the agreements focus on economics and politics, a number of socially oriented treaties have been made. One of the social treaties is CEDAW, which requires a nation to demonstrate commitment to promoting women’s legal equity, eliminate discrimination, and promote women’s development and empowerment (Hawkesworth, 2006). When a nation that traditionally practices gender inequality signs such a convention, it is obliged to take steps to promote equality. Seo-Young (2014) reveals that national commitments to CEDAW are an important driving force of diffusing gender equality worldwide. The UAE has signed the CEDAW, which means that it is working towards promoting gender equality. Globalization has changed the gender expectations that were traditionally held by members of society. Each community has s
