"We, the women of the International Gender and Trade Network, come together at the Second Peoples' Summit in Quebec City to say 'NO' to a Free Trade Area of the Americas (FTAA) that threatens to marginalize women and our human rights."

"The International Gender and Trade Network is made up of seven regional networks (Africa, Asia, Caribbean, Europe, Latin America, North America, and Pacific) of women involved in research, advocacy and economic literacy around issues of trade and development. The network was established following a Strategic Planning Seminar on Gender and Trade, held in Grenada, December 1999."
