| The International Gender and Trade
Network (IGTN) is a network of feminist gender specialists who
provide technical information on gender and trade issues to women's
groups, NGOs, social movements, governments, and academic
institutions. IGTN also acts as a political catalyst to enlarge the
space for a critical feminist perspective and global action on
gender, trade, and globalization issues.
The IGTN is a Southern-led network that builds South/North
cooperation with the aim of developing more just and democratic
trade policies from a critical feminist perspective.
IGTN is currently organized in eight regions: Africa, Asia, Caribbean, Central Asia, Europe, Latin America, Middle East and Gulf, North America, and
the Pacific.
IGTN’s Political Agenda is Fourfold:
- To support global and regional economic integration rules and
processes that build sustainability of the productive (cash
economy) and social reproductive (care economy) work of all
people, particularly women; and to oppose all rules and processes
that compromise that work.
- To monitor negotiations in order to expose and oppose
undemocratic trade rules in the WTO and regional trade fora.
IGTN’s goal is to reduce the scope of the WTO and all trade
agreements to specific trade issues.
- To build alternatives from a feminist perspective.
- To work to achieve just and democratic economic policy
domestically and globally.
