Taking place on the margins of virtual MC2020, this session, jointly sponsored by the Organization of Women in International Trade (OWIT); the International Trade Center (ITC) and Women in International Trade (WIIT DC) is an action-focused discussion on how trade policy can foster economic empowerment of women.

This discussion will focus on the launch of ITC’s ground-breaking report on Mainstreaming Gender in Trade Agreements report.  Building on the concrete recommendations included, our panel will discuss ongoing actions and collective next steps to secure gender empowering trade policy that promotes women-driven businesses and embeds that powerful economic community as part of global economy resiliency, and a post-COVID recovery.
