Gender Inclusiveness in Trade: Barriers, Challenges, and Opportunities

Association for Women in International Trade (WIIT) presents:

"Gender Inclusiveness in Trade: Barriers, Challenges, and Opportunities"
 
Leading up to the 12th WTO Ministerial Conference (MC12), the panel will seek to address the nexus between gender and international trade. As the issue of gender equality rises to the top of public policy debate globally, it is critical to consider how trade may impact gender, including the barriers, the challenges and opportunities women face as they participate in trade as entrepreneurs, traders or workers.
 
Speakers:

• Renata Amaral, WTO Program on Women in Trade
• Jamaica Gayle, Global Innovation Forum
• Nadia Bourely, Canadian Embassy to the U.S.A.

Moderated by Lisa Schroeter, Dow
