Short Summary |
This is the first in a series of three comprehensive
economic literacy packets produced by the Asia Network of the International
Gender and Trade Network (IGTN). The IGTN aims to engage with the
global women's movement to raise awareness of the relationship between
gender relations and macroeonomic and trade polices. The intention
of the Network is to provide information that may be used for the
purposes of lobbying and advocacy within regional and global trade
and investment agreements. The packet includes seven modules that
offer analyses of the complexity of the relationship between gender
and trade in textile and clothing, agriculture and services. The specific
concern in this packet is women's work in the context of trade intensification
as it pertains to the following areas: Negotiating the Divides in
International Trade and Gender; The Feminization of Labor in Asia;
Women's Time and Labor: Double Shift and Multiple Burdens; Issues
in Women's Work; Women and Trade in Textiles and Clothing; Women and
Trade in Services and; Women and Trade in Agriculture. |
