ShEUtrades: Enhancing Women's Economic Empowerment through EU Trade Policy
The world is far off-track from achieving gender equality (UNSDG 5). Trade could be an important instrument for eliminating economic gender inequalities. Yet, it remains unclear how trade policies should be changed to ensure that women equally participate in and benefit from trade. I investigate how women’s economic empowerment can be enhanced through EU trade law and practice. My project brings together women scholars and practitioners to develop legal solutions and best institutional practices for enhancing gender equality and women’s empowerment through foreign (trade) policy. In so doing, it amplifies women’s voices and perspectives in both scholarship and policymaking
