WTO FORUM

How can trade promote economic opportunities for women?

Gender equality is part of the eight Millennium Development Goals set by the United Nations at the turn of the century. From a sociological and economic perspective, experts agree that society has much to gain from the empowerment of women. How can trade and the WTO participate in empowering women economically? Ottilia Chikosha, Executive Director of the Regional Export Promotion Trust, and Deborah Berlinck, Geneva correspondent for O Globo, discuss this issue with Keith Rockwell, WTO Spokesperson.

This debate was recorded on the sidelines of the WTO Public Forum 2010.
