- Description
- A lack of dominant image for either sex could be progressive but until those images are more than warmed-over stereotypes, the recession hasn't changed anything.

The women have developed regional socioeconomic networks that have enabled them to raise their standard of living. Cross-border trade has also enabled women to become independent, to articulate a new collective identity, and to develop local and regional economies based on creative responses to the uncertainties created by the structural adjustment programmes in the region.
