CETA

With the recently signed Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA) between India and the United Kingdom, India has for the first time signed up to a detailed chapter on trade and gender equality, besides a clear assertion in the preamble to “increasing women’s access to and ability to fully benefit from the opportunities created by this Agreement.”
