Abstract
When the International Monetary Fund (IMF) was established as a part of United Nations (UN) System, it aroused hopes for the futures. The developed world in general and developing world in particular expected that the IMF would come for rescue during crisis times. However hopes turned into disillusionment, when IMF offered its conditionalities along with monetary help and assistance. Soon after, critical studies regarding IMF Conditionalities and their impact upon the receiving states proliferated all around. Unfortunately, the global debate about IMF Conditionalities neglected the effect of such conditionalities upon the women and it is only recently that the issue has been taken up for research and study. Clearly, need for serious and scholarly works is there. Keeping in view, this paper focuses on the impact of IMF Conditionalities on women. It, however, also deals with a related issue: Do the countries have to accept such conditionalities which might affect the women adversely?
