Women’s and men’s unequal access to resources impacts how they experience trade policies. This theme explores key gender issues including positive and negative impacts of trade liberalisation on women and gender relations, barriers to women’s participation in trade policy development, assessments of the value of micro-credit and how to promote women’s entrepreneurship.
Trade and trade liberalisation have very different impacts on women and men - which can result in fundamental shifts in gender roles, relationships and inequalities. Moreover increasing claims that countries should be enabled to 'trade their way out of poverty' means that there is an urgent need to address how trade can promote gender equality and development. What policies are likely to have an effect on gender equality and how can such policies be influenced? How can development practitioners promote gender equality and better support women's access to the benefits of trade?
