Article 25.2. Objectives

In addition to this Chapter, other Chapters of this Agreement contain Articles which seek explicitly to advance this objective, including:

(a) Article 10.4 (Development of Measures - Domestic Regulation);

(b) providing equal rights and access to opportunities for the participation of women in business, industry, and the labour market.

The Parties affirm the importance of promoting gender equality policies and practices and building the capacity of the Parties in this area, including in non-government sectors, to eliminate all forms of gender-based discrimination in trade.

The Parties acknowledge the benefit of sharing their respective experiences in designing, implementing, monitoring, evaluating, and strengthening policies and programmes to address the systemic barriers which exist for women in international trade, and prevent them from participating equitably in global, regional, or domestic economies.

1. The Parties agree to advance women's economic empowerment across this Agreement and promote the importance of a gender perspective in the Parties' trade and investment relationship.

2. The Parties shall implement and enforce their respective laws, policies, practices, and regulations that promote gender equality and improve women's access to trade and economic opportunities.

3. The Parties shall take steps towards increasing women's participation in trade and investment, including by identifying the range of barriers that limit opportunities for women in the economy, to enable the delivery of evidence-based interventions in response.

4. Each Party shall promote public awareness of its gender equality laws, regulations, policies, and practices relating to trade, including by making them publicly available.

5. The Parties acknowledge that it is inappropriate to waive, or otherwise derogate from, their gender equality laws to encourage trade or investment.

Article 25.4. International Instruments

1. The Parties affirm their commitment to implement the obligations under the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women done at New York City on 18 December 1979, and acknowledge the general recommendations made under its Committee.

2. The Parties affirm the objectives of the Joint Declaration on Trade and Women's Economic Empowerment done at Buenos Aires on 12 December 2017, including acknowledgment of the need to develop evidence-based interventions to address the barriers that limit opportunities for women in the economy.

3. The Parties recognise that inclusive trade policies can contribute to advancing women's economic empowerment and gender equality in line with Sustainable Development Goal 5 of the UN 2030 Agenda on Sustainable Development adopted by the UN General Assembly Resolution 70/1 on 25 September 2015. The Parties acknowledge the important contribution by women to economic growth through their participation in economic activity, including international trade, the labour market, business leadership, and entrepreneurship.

1. The Parties recognise the importance of strengthening their trade relations and cooperation in the implementation of this Agreement, and shall carry out cooperation activities with the aim of enhancing the ability of women including workers, entrepreneurs, businesswomen and business owners, and wahine Maori in the case of New Zealand, to fully access and benefit from the opportunities created under this Agreement. These activities shall be carried out in a transparent manner, as appropriate with the inclusive participation of women.

2. Cooperation activities shall be carried out on issues determined by the Parties, through the interaction and coordination, as appropriate, with their respective government agencies, private companies, labour unions, civil society, academic institutions, and non-governmental organisations, among others, and with the participation of Maori in the case of New Zealand.

3. Areas of cooperation may include:

(a) developing programmes to promote women's full and equal participation, empowerment, and advancement in society by encouraging, valuing, and recognising women's unpaid care work, capacity building, and skills enhancement including at work, in business, and at senior levels in all sectors of society (such as on public and private boards), insofar as doing so is related to trade;

(b) improving women's access, participation, leadership, and education, in particular in fields in which they are underrepresented such as science, technology, engineering, mathematics (STEM), as well as innovation, e-commerce, and any other field as it relates to trade;
