Over the last few years, due to rapid global integration, the world has increasingly started experiencing more intense effects of globalization. In Pakistan, the effects of globalization on the role of women are very prominent. In this era of globalization, various aspects of women empowerment including economic opportunities, access to education and healthcare facilities and having a voice within households and society have undergone tremendous change. Therefore, the current research intends to analyze the effect that globalization has on the empowerment of women in Districts Lahore (Province Punjab), Pakistan. In doing so, primary data was collected from the five tehsils of District Lahore and various dimensions of globalization and women empowerment were considered; the study develops its own all-embracing ‘Globalization’ and ‘Women Empowerment’ variables using Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) and Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA). The relationship between globalization and women empowerment was checked using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). The results show that globalization positively and significantly contributes towards women empowerment and ensures that women are not discriminated against men in all spheres of life. Based on the results, the study provides some important guidelines on how to better govern the process of globalization and reap maximum benefit from it.
