On 13-14 November, the Youth Trade Summit on Gender was held by the World Trade Organization (WTO) at WTO headquarters in Geneva, Switzerland, to provide opportunities for young professionals to engage in discussions on trade and gender issues. DU Yingxin, Associate Professor at WTO Chair at University of International Business and Economics, was invited to participate in the summit. The Summit brought together 59 young participants aged 20 to 35 from various regions of the world and with different professional backgrounds, of which 27% were from Europe, 24% from Africa, 22% from Latin America, 17% from Asia and 10% from North America. Supporting women's participation in international trade, making trade more inclusive, and promoting women's economic empowerment through trade is one of the focuses of the WTO's ongoing work. The Summit aims to foster collaboration and networking among different generations of trade and gender stakeholders, and to promote further research and related work by young professionals on this topic in the future.
