The Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for TransPacific Partnership (CPTPP) was born from the ashes of the Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement (TPPA), which fell apart when Donald Trump withdrew the United States from the TPPA on his first day in office.
As more developing countries outside the partnership are looking to join the CPTPP, this podcast analysed the current literature and explored how the CPTPP will likely impact women in the partnerships’ developing country members, in terms of the economy, food security, labour, its effect on policy space, the consequences of intellectual property rights, and the environment.
Dhivya Kanagasingam, a Programme Officer at ARROW, was interviewed by BFM 89.9 about her thematic paper – Trade and Gender: What does the new TPPA mean for women in developing countries?
