Gender-related inputs

A country’s gender-related inputs are the legal and institutional frameworks that are put in place to foster gender equality and women’s empowerment. These inputs play a key role in the realized gender-related outputs, discussed in section 3, in the form of women’s actual opportunities in the domains of capabilities, access to resources and opportunities, and security. However, since the focus of this report is on women’s participation in economic life, and more specifically in international trade, this section presents an overview of policies and institutions at the international, regional, and national levels that are of particular relevance for women’s economic empowerment.
