The IMF and its Effects on the Women. This paper discusses how the International Monetary Fund (IMF) has imposed structural adjustment programs (SAPs) on developing countries that end up exacerbating the victimization of women. These programs are based on the assumption that market forces serve as the best solutions to economic problems. By doing so, the programs lead to the direct subordination of women's interests. The main problem is that the greatest burden of economic crises is faced by women, who are simultaneously the very people that are ignored by the SAPs. 6 pgs. 7 f/c. 7b.
