Our Purpose

The Gender and Trade Coalition was initiated by feminist and progressive activists to advance feminist trade analysis and advocate for equitable trade policy. We stand in opposition to neoliberal co-optation of women's human rights as a means to open markets and expand an unjust trade system which exploits the global South alongside workers and oppressed peoples worldwide.

Our Work

Members of the Gender and Trade Coalition gathered outdoors with fists high at Third Strategy Meeting.
