Trade Is Not Gender Neutral
From: The Fair Trade Handbook
$1.00
In this chapter, the authors describe the ways in which inequality is related to the uneven ways in which women and men are incorporated into the global economy. Some trade can place women-run businesses at a disadvantage, and women are still responsible for the bulk of unpaid care work.
