SUMMARY:Accelerating progress in trade and gender: New policies and data de
 velopments (CSW66 side event)
CLASS:PUBLIC
DESCRIPTION:In the framework of the 66th Commission of the Status of Women 
 (CSW66)\, UNCTAD will organize the side event “Accelerating progress in 
 trade and gender: New policies and data developments”.\n\nThe past decad
 e transformed how trade policy circles consider gender issues. Those respo
 nsible for trade policy increasingly recognize the differential impacts of
  international trade on women and men and the need to measure and address 
 them. As a result\, the interest in gender-focused trade statistics has in
 creased and so has the demand for them. Each country has its unique gender
 ed structures affected by its laws\, culture\, role in the global economy\
 , and many other factors. Evidence about how trade and trade policies affe
 ct women and men\, and overall gender equality\, is a precondition for dev
 eloping gender-responsive trade policies.\n\nThe gender and trade nexus ha
 s long been an important area of focus for UNCTAD. UNCTAD engages with mem
 ber States and partners to identify gender-based constraints that impede i
 nclusive development\, strengthen their capacity to mainstream gender into
  trade policy formulation and implementation\, and advance availability an
 d measurability of official statistics on gender and trade to enhance evid
 ence-based policy.\n\nThe side event will discuss how gender consideration
 s are being progressively integrated into trade policy by presenting concr
 ete examples and sharing recent progress in producing better statistics ab
 out trade and gender. \n\nSpeakers:\n\n\nIsabelle Durant\, Deputy Secreta
