An Examination of the Gender Implications of trade Liberalisation in Southern Africa
Abstract
This short analysis demonstrates, international trade, as it is currently formulated and practiced, does not adequately take into account women’s experiences and has resulted in one-sided agreements neglect the gendered aspects of the economy and society. Ensuring trade policy does not affect women adversely is sound public policy that the Southern African region must engage in to foster effective development. This inclusive development can only be realised once gender analysis is applied to trade policy.
