Making trade work for all: the role of gender responsive standards

Join us for a discussion about the role of gender-responsive standards and the benefits to industry, the economy and trade. This event is organised to celebrate International Women’s Day.

Gender-sensitive trade can only work well with more inclusive standards. The European Commission and the Government of Canada have organised this panel discussion to take stock of recent developments in regards to gender, trade and standards, and discuss implementation by industry to support women’s role in the economy and trade.
