Abstract
Ongoing internal strife and displacement, the social disruption of migrant work, unfair labor practices, gender disparities in health care and social reform have all contributed to the diminishing status of women in Sri Lanka, a country that has a high literacy rate, free health care, and universal suffrage. This commentary addresses the work of Jeanne Marecek (2006, this issue) and expands it to include the impact of gendered violence and globalization on women’s lives in Sri Lanka and other rural parts of South Asia.
