8 years ago, the GTC was initiated by feminist & progressive activists to advance feminist trade analysis & equitable trade policy. With +300 members globally, we stand in opposition to neoliberal co-optation of women's human rights as a means to expand an unjust trade system.

It's a wrap! The Coordination Group came together in Manila for an in-depth meeting to reflect on the rapidly shifting global landscape and what it means for the future of the #FfD process and collective. To learn more about the Coordination Group visit: csoforffd.org/governance/

✒️Nearly 100 NGOs have endorsed a statement on #UNCTAD16. We've taken a stand against the same false solutions and political dynamics which squandered #FfD4. We urge Member States to deliver an Outcome Document that responds to the moment. Read it here: bit.ly/4o5d7in

@RegionsRefocus @apwld @UNCTAD @brettonwoodspr @Erica_Levenson Next, @Erica_Levenson of @RegionsRefocus connected these lived realities to the structural problems which have created them: fundamentally unbalanced global trade which uses women as disposable sources of cheap labor, reinforces debt dependency, and hollows out states.

Yesterday at #UNCTAD16, the @GenderandTrade Coalition, along with co-convenors @RegionsRefocus @apwld, hosted our side event, "Shaping Whose Future? Feminist Demands for Debt and Trade Justice" We were joined by speakers from @UNCTAD @brettonwoodspr. Highlights below 👇🧵

#UNCTAD16 | APWLD and @RegionsRefocus will be convening a side event on 'Shaping Whose Future? Feminist Demands for Debt and Trade Justice'. Join us as we present a feminist analysis of the intersections of trade and debt justice, and voice feminist demands to achieve them!

Are you attending UNCTAD16? Join us, along with co-convenors @apwld & @RegionsRefocus, for "Shaping Whose Future? Feminist Demands for Debt and Trade Justice." 🗓️ 20 October 2025 (next Monday) 🕜 1:15-2:45 PM (90 minutes) 📍 Room Concordia I - Palais des Nations, Geneva

For decades, feminist civil society (including us) backed UNCTAD as a progressive forum. Now, UNCTAD16 is failing us. We won't stand by as another opportunity to make progress towards debt, trade, & climate justice for the Global South is lost. bit.ly/GTConUNCTAD16
