%0 Journal Article %A World Trade Organization %T The Evolution of Gender-Related Provisions in Regional Trade Agreements %D 2021 %J WTO, %V %R https://doi.org/10.30875/dd10a280-en %I WTO, %X Regional Trade agreements (RTAs) are sometimes considered as laboratories in which new types of provisions are negotiated to address recent trade-related issues. Although the inclusion of gender-related provisions in RTAs is not a recent phenomenon, only a limited but increasing number of RTAs refer explicitly to gender-related issues. These gender-related provisions are highly heterogeneous and differ in terms of location in the RTA, language, scope and commitments. Some of the most detailed gender-related provisions are found in stand-alone chapters on gender. Cooperation provisions on gender-related issues, including labour, health and social policy, remain the most common type of gender-related provisions found in RTAs. %U https://www.wto-ilibrary.org/content/papers/25189808/269
