MIKTA (Mexico, Indonesia, Korea, Turkey and Australia), in cooperation with the World Trade Organization (WTO) and the International Trade Centre (ITC), would like to invite you to the Workshop on Women in Global Value Chains at the WTO on the 1st of October.
The Workshop will look at the gender dimension of global value chains (GVCs) and explore how trade policies, trade measures and technical assistance can help enhance women's participation in GVCs. It will also showcase different perspectives from actors in GVCs, best practices and experiences of WTO Members.
Reception will follow at the Lobby CR, WTO.
Registrations: if you don't have a WTO badge, please send an email to trade-gender@wto.org with your name and organisation by 16:00 on Friday 28 September.
