This policy brief examines gender mainstreaming efforts in trade facilitation, trade policies, and FTAs being pursued by G20 member countries. It examines the results of the Women and Trade Facilitation component of the 2021 UN Global Survey on Digital and Sustainable Trade Facilitation for the member countries (henceforth referred to as the “Survey”). In addition, we identify the gender mainstreaming best practices from various G20 members to highlight policy measures and initiatives that can be adopted by other member countries in their trade ecosystems. Based on these findings, we suggest a possible G20 commitment to gender mainstreaming in trade facilitation and also recommend actions that the Group can jointly undertake in this direction.
