Trade isn’t just about markets — it’s about our daily lives.
Food, water, healthcare, jobs, and who gets to decide.
When trade rules shape how we live and impact women and marginalized communities differently, they become a feminist issue.

#FfDForum2026 Day 3: Focus on trade 🌍
Trade rules are being bent & broken by those in power.
A system that can be ignored by some and imposed on others is not fair. It MUST change.
Development cannot be sidelined by shifting geopolitical priorities & strategic competition 🚫
🗣️Current global trade & investment systems not only fail to address climate change but also harm the environment & marginalized communities.
Ranja Sengupta (@3rdworldnetwork) delves into this argument at the latest GTC event. Watch her full intervention: youtu.be/1gDa-U88ijM

What does trade have to do with war & conflict?
In our latest event, Nela Porobić Isaković (Feminist Anti-Militarist Collective) analyzes how trade can be a tool for exploitation – or for mutual aid & solidarity – in (post)conflict contexts.

The U.S. made the e-commerce moratorium, a ban on customs duties on electronic transmissions, the centre of its agenda & linked the conference's whole progress to it.

Press release from civil society at #MC14 in Yaoundé: owinfs.org/MC14-conclusion
The @wto must do better ✊🏾
#MC14 started yesterday &, along w/ members @3rdworldnetwork @RegionsRefocus, we are here to push for a fair, equitable, & development-oriented global trade system.
If you are in Yaoundé & interested in joint advocacy, [email protected]
We are in Yaoundé for the @wto's 14th Ministerial Conference (#MC14), pushing for a structural view of gender & trade. Gender fixes cannot solve problems unleashed by unfair agreements. It’s time for the WTO to deliver on its promises.
