IGTN is a network of feminist gender specialists who provide technical information on gender and trade issues to women's groups, NGOs, social movements, governments, and academic institutions. IGTN also acts as a political catalyst to enlarge the space for a critical feminist perspective and global action on gender, trade, and globalization issues.

IGTN is a Southern-led network that builds South/North cooperation with the aim of developing more just and democratic trade policies from a critical feminist perspective.

Currently organized in seven regions: Africa, Asia, Central Asia, Europe, Latin America, Middle East and Gulf and North America.

IGTN’s Political Agenda is Fourfold:

• To support global and regional economic integration rules and processes that build sustainability of the productive (cash economy) and social reproductive (care economy) work of all people, particularly women; and to oppose all rules and processes that compromise that work;
• To monitor negotiations in order to expose and oppose undemocratic trade rules in the WTO and regional trade fora. IGTN’s goal is to reduce the scope of the WTO and all trade agreements to specific trade issues;
• To build alternatives from a feminist perspective;
• To work to achieve just and democratic economic policy domestically and globally.
