Global Board
Addressing gender equality must not be an afterthought or an addition. It is central to ensuring a fair, just and rights based society and multilateral trading system and must therefore be central to our work, research, advocacy and policy making. As a Gender Champion I will continue to highlight the importance of gender in trade and climate change policy and in supporting equality and human rights for all.
I support the IGC Panel Parity Pledge.
I support the IGC gender-based violence pledge.
Personal Commitments
In my role as Chair of the MSMEs WG at WTO I commit to ensure that at least half of the SMEs under the MSME spotlight are women entrepreneurs.
I commit to being involved in two mentoring initiatives a year focused on supporting the empowerment and equality of women in the workplace.
