>>>>>In Thailand, thousands of young women line up early every morning
>>>>>for buses that take them to factories where they spend long hours
>>>>>gluing tennis shoes or stitching T-shirts for export to the
>>>>>United States.  Oftentimes they don't return home until 2 or 3
>>>>>AM.  These women are the fuel on which globalization runs and if
>>>>>they're lucky, they earn Thailand's minimum wage: less than $4 a
>>>>>day.  In Senegal, healthcare and public school systems, which
>>>>>were considered a model for emerging nations in the 1960s, are
>>>>>closer today to being a national disaster.  And it is poor women
>>>>>who have borne the brunt of these consequences of globalization.
>>>>>Many Senegalese blame the turnover on the financial conditions
>>>>>set by the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund.
>>>On Friday, September 5, 2003 at 8 PM (check local listings at
>>>http://www.pbs.org/now/sched.html) on PBS, in a special report, NOW
>>>with Bill Moyers investigates the landscape of female poverty in
>>>the developing world.  Award-winning producer Sherry Jones examines
>>>how women have experienced globalization - from international
>>>financial programs to international trade agreements to the
>>>unfettered power of multinational corporations.
