DG Roberto Azevêdo talks about his three main takeaways from the new Women and Trade report. First, there is robust evidence that trade offers tremendous opportunities to women. Second, going forward, women need to be in a position to take advantage of major trends in trade. Finally, to make the most of these opportunities we need to act, and we need to act now.

Presenting on the report, co-author Nadia Rocha shares the most surprising result from the report: firms that engage in international trade employ more women and pay them more. In developing countries women make up 33 percent of the workforce of firms that trade internationally, compared with just 24 percent of non-exporting firms.
