The exploitation of these natural resources leads to environmental harm. Also, the IMF devastates women in the Third World. Women, commonly in the most vulnerable positions, are hurt the most by the IMF's policies. They are often the first ones to be withdrawn from schools. The shift to exports makes it harder for them to feed their families.
Many women end up as prostitutes just to make enough money to survive.
Throughout all this, the IMF is not accountable to voters. Although it is funded by taxpayer money, the public has no input into its policies. The IMF works with a small group of bankers and finance ministry staff without input from any other government agency.
