I review the evidence for global abundance gradients in barred galaxies to be flatter when compared with those of normal galaxies. The finding that the abundance gradient becomes flatter as the strength of the bar increases, illustrates the effectiveness of radial flows induced by bars at transporting large amount of gas across galaxy disks.
