Trade & Gender – exploring a reciprocal relationship

Approaches to mitigate and measure gender-related trade impacts.

The study reflects on the interrelation between gender equality and trade as a reciprocal relationship and on gender-differentiated impacts of trade (chapter 1). It identifies several relevant gender dimensions in trade and approaches how to address them, including practice examples (chapter 2). It further presents how gender in trade is and should be measured, including some gender-related indicators in trade (chapter 3). Chapter 4 presents key issues to be addressed to mitigate possible negative impacts of trade on gender equality and equity.
