The third event in the In Focus series ‘A Feminist EU in the World?’ focuses on the role of the European Union as a global trade actor. The panel participants have background in both academia and a policy making and include: Susan Harris Rimmer, Silke Trommer and Maya Taselaar.

The panel debate will critically evaluate the EU’s contribution to the promoting feminist perspectives in global trade governance. How can the EU promote more trade agreements that are more inclusive of gender questions? What are the effects of EU trade policy on other (especially developing) countries in the global arena? Can the EU contribute to redefining the purpose of global trade in ways that value, prioritize and support progressive forms of social reproduction? The debate includes experts with experience in policy and academia, creating a unique forum to discuss the current challenges and the proposals for a more feminist EU trade policy.
