This brief paper aims to contribute to national discussions in the process of defining SPs by putting forward some reflections and recommendations in regard to the current situation of women in agriculture and the need to integrate gender-sensitive trade policies in negotiating processes in order to ease negative impacts of trade liberalization, particularly for small farmers and rural poor, women being a significant percentage within those groups. It is mainly intended for informative and advocacy purposes among civil society, particularly for small farmers and agricultural social movements, but also for assisting policy makers and trade negotiators in current negotiations.
