CSW70 Virtual Parallel Event: “Building Feminist Alliances for Trade Justice”
17 March 2026, 12:30 UTC via Zoom
Dear colleagues,
The Gender and Trade Coalition (GTC), along with co-convenors FEMNET, Regions Refocus, and Third World Network, are pleased to invite you to a virtual parallel event to the 70th Commission on the Status of Women (CSW70) entitled “Building Feminist Alliances for Trade Justice.” The event will take place on Tuesday, 17 March, at 12:30 UTC, which is 8:30 am EDT (New York), 1:30 pm CET (Geneva), and 6 pm IST (New Delhi), via Zoom. It will connect core feminist issues to global trade and build solidarity in the fight for feminist trade justice.
Please register here to receive the Zoom link.
Background
As people feel the detrimental effects of fundamentally inadequate governance regimes on their lives, livelihoods, and the environment, resistance to free trade agreements has grown. Women have been at the forefront of these resistance efforts, informed by their experiences as the people most impacted by "successful" neoliberal policies.
This interactive workshop will build on the GTC’s series of feminist trade explainers to help participants understand how the issues they organize around – such as gender, climate, and (post)-conflict – are connected to global trade and why trade is a feminist issue. Live English-French and English-Spanish interpretation will be available.
Speakers
Mariama Williams, Global Afro-Descendant Climate Justice Collaborative.
Ranja Sengupta, Third World Network.
Nela Porobić Isaković, Feminist Anti-Militarist Collective.
Anita Nayar, Regions Refocus.
Moderated by Grace Namugabe, FEMNET.
We hope to see you there!
In solidarity,
Regions Refocus
