Tariff changes now include a calculation for how women lose out.

Trade rules are now being assessed for their impact on women. This means governments will look at how tariffs affect women's jobs and incomes, not just overall economic numbers.

For decades, trade deals were negotiated without a clear picture of how they affected half the population. This new approach means that the economic gains or losses from trade liberalization will be measured specifically for women. It could lead to trade policies that are more equitable, or at least make the existing inequities visible.
