The UN Women Training Centre is pleased to introduce the module Trade and Gender Equality, a new module part of the "I Know Gender" online self-paced course. This module was developed in collaboration with the United Nations Conference for Trade and Development (UNCTAD) and aims to enhance knowledge on the relationship between trade and gender equality.

The module Trade and Gender Equality, will help learners:

• Identify the two-way relationship between trade and gender.
  
• Appreciate how gender inequalities can enhance as well as undermine trade performance.
