SUMMARY:9th UN Global Forum on Gender Statistics -  Session IV: Gender main
 streaming in official statistics: going beyond traditional areas
CLASS:PUBLIC
DESCRIPTION:Gender equality and women&#039\;s empowerment are recognized as
  prerequisites to realizing sustainable development and are integrated acr
 oss the various goals and targets of the 2030 Agenda. The reaffirmation of
  the central role of gender equality in the achievement of sustainable dev
 elopment for all makes it a cross-cutting principle. Therefore\, going bey
 ond traditional areas of gender concern and applying a gender lens to the 
 production\, analysis dissemination\, and utilization of all official stat
 istics\, across the diverse SDGs thematic areas\, become vital for gender-
 responsive programming. The session will bring together national ongoing e
 fforts to include a gender lens into trade statistics.The session on Gende
 r and Trade Statistics will bring useful insights from pilots completed by
  UNCTAD\, UNECA and UNECE on compiling sets of indicators on gender-in-tra
 de statistics building on the conceptual framework developed by UNCTAD. Un
 derstanding unique constraints faced by the National Statistics Offices (N
 SOs) in developing countries\, this session will discuss practical applica
 tion of the methodology\, focusing on what has worked and lessons learned 
 from Georgia and Kenya\, with a view to updating and sharing a framework t
 hat is useful for other countries. This discussion will expand the boundar
 ies understanding the participation of women in trade using existing stati
 stics. It will be useful for countries and national agencies exploring way
 s to collaborate in order to compile and collect gender-in-trade indicator
 s that can support more evidence-based policy design.&lt\;p&gt\;Gender equ
