This Feminist Trade Agenda presents 16 policy proposals aimed at advancing our efforts toward feminist trade justice. The Agenda is based on the policy proposals put forward in the ‘explainer’ series by Regions Refocus, produced for the Gender and Trade Coalition. The explainer series featured short, Q&A format articles which each unpack key feminist trade issues– including gender, post-conflict recovery, migration, and climate– and end with five strategic policy proposals. The explainers are the result of collaborative writing processes, as each one was produced by Regions Refocus in collaboration with different Coalition members.
A complete list of authors for the explainers and their proposals includes Erica Levenson, Anita Nayar, Mariama Williams, Ranja Sengupta, Fatimah Kelleher, Maureen Penjueli, Adam Wolfenden, Carol Barton, Hien Nguyen Thi, Nela Porobić, Catherine Tactaquin, and Senani Dehigolla. The various proposals were compiled and expanded, and a Foreword added, by Erica Levenson for review and addition by the broader Coalition.
The Feminist Trade Agenda serves as a valuable resource for those engaged in parallel work and/or interested in advocating for the same goals as the Gender and Trade Coalition—policymakers, academics, activists, and civil society are all encouraged to engage with and amplify it.
