Global Economic Governance Seminar Series: The Role of Women in International Trade and Trade Governance

The lecture will review the developments in the WTO relating to women and trade, such as the recent launch of Informal Working Group on Trade and Gender following the adoption of the Declaration on Trade and Women’s Economic Empowerment at the WTO Ministerial Conference in Buenos Aires. It will discuss whether the current WTO agreements may be used to promote women in trade, and how gender equality provisions are being included in regional trade agreements such as the Comprehensive and Progressive Trans Pacific Partnership Agreement. It will also canvass the importance of increasing representation of women in trade governance bodies, arbitral bodies, and in international organizations.
