Does Globalisation Aid Gender Equality In The Workplace?

During my my Sociology A-level, the topic of Globalisation was something that stuck with me beyond the four walls of the classroom, and now I'm on my gap year, I have more time to delve into the subject without having to write a 3000 word essay immediately after.
To balance this out, I want to discuss the impact of globalisation on both 1st world and 3rd world women.
In the 1st world, women made up 50.7% of the population in 2013. I know many women have fulfilling careers. For example, my godmother (conveniently also named Rosie) owns her own law firm and has even bagged a couple of awards due to her work. However, women are still brought down and discouraged by the "glass ceiling", a product of the patriarchy.
This is evidenced by the fact that women are still paid 70% of what men get despite doing the exact same job, and being in the identical line of work. This presents itself in America, with the disparity costing $430'000 per woman. A woman can come out of the end of her educational career, achieved higher grades than her male counterparts, and still get paid less simply because of their gender.
In the workplace, it is not only the wage gap that women face. In addition to this, around 30'000 women lose their jobs a year due to pregnancy. For example, take Nicola McNamee. In a MailOnline report, she was sacked weeks after telling her employer that she was pregnant, and as a result, received £7'500 for injuries to her feelings, and £15'788 to compensate for her loss of earnings.
However, this is a rare result, and triumphs are not always had or spread by the media. For example, CBS encouraged women not to report sexual harassment in the workplace, and instead suggested that they should simply ignore it and handle it alone.

While women in the 1st world deal with unattainable body image set about by magazines, television etc and having the rights of their bodies discussed by the "Boys Only" club (also referred to as the government), women in the 3rd world deal with this, but tenfold.
Sociologists such as Black suggest that women in developing countries make up a "fifth world", as they are so incredibly vulnerable to being attacked and denied education (just to name two). Because of this complete lack of academic resources, the end up being wage slaves for TNCs (Transnational Corporations) who base themselves in poor countries to avoid tax and lure in cheap workers.
For example, a report by The Guardian on Topshop reported that workers who make their clothes get paid 22-40 pence an hour, 12 hours a day, 6 days a week, often accompanied by unsafe and unsanitary conditions. Working in an environment such as these lead to factory fires, as seen in Bangladesh in which investigators reported that the factory had "no emergency exits" and the gates were locked outside, resulting in 112 workers dying.

Globalisation thrives under capitalism and the control of men who created this mode of production. It cannot exist without an economic hierarchy of countries, the poorest at the bottom. Women in both the 1st and 3rd world are born as oppressed majorities, therefore weakening their power socially, politically and economically.
Globalisation is define as "the process by which businesses or other organizations develop international influence or start operating on an international scale." As a young woman about to go to University and join businesses that are global, or aspire to be, I am excited and daunted by this prospect, and I think women should be encouraged and celebrated in this operation.
