One of the most disturbing aspects of the growth of the global market is the increasing number of Export Processing Zones where millions of workers, mainly young women, are employed in grossly repressive conditions. This booklet describes what working in the zones means in reality. It reveals the dark underside of globalisation and calls for action by the international trade union movement, governments, and employers.
