| description | For the first time in the history of the WTO, women were included in the agenda in December 2017, through the Buenos Aires Declaration on Trade and Women’s Economic Empowerment. From this context, the question that guides this paper is: what is the contribution of the recent WTO initiative for the Feminist Economy? The main objective is to analyze the potential contribution of the initiative in light of this debate, also considered recent in academia. Through the qualitative approach, primary (official documents) and secondary sources (specialized bibliography, reports), with analytical-descriptive purpose, the text is divided into three parts. The first contextualizes the topic, the second presents most proemint international organizations addressing the topic, while the third, characterizes the work of the WTO. It is concluded that, despite the late insertion and through a non-binding initiative, it will increase the visibility of women’s contribution and challenges to the world trade. Due to its potential to inspire trade policy discussion through gender lenses without, questioning androcentric basis, it contributes to the axis of Gender Economy. |
