James Baxter
Ambassador, Permanent Representative,
Permanent Mission of Australia to the World Trade Organization and other international organizations in Geneva
Australian women like Melanie Perkins (Canva) and Janine Ellis (Boost Juice) are a testament of the global success women entrepreneurs can achieve through trade. We must redouble our efforts to remove barriers to women’s participation in global trade so we can share the benefits of trade more widely and see more success stories.
I support the IGC Panel Parity Pledge.
I support the IGC gender-based violence pledge.
Personal Commitments
Ensure that at least one project funded from the Australian Permanent Mission’s International Development Fund is focussed on encouraging women’s participation in trade.
Ensure gender balance in the selection and recruitment of interns to the Australian Permanent Mission.
