In 2006 the Government of Afghanistan will undergo the massive task of reviewing all existing trade laws and/or policies. This exercise will be supported by different international agencies and ministries. This paper will help stimulate discussion and inform policy-making processes around trade policies and their possible impacts on women and men. We believe that such discussions are important to analyze the dynamics between trade policies, gender inequalities, growth and poverty.
