IOE&IT logo and International Women's Day article

 

The Institute of Export & International Trade (IOE&IT) would like to wish all its members and followers a Happy International Women’s Day!

To celebrate this important event, IOE&IT staff got together to talk about the organisation’s work addressing female inequality in trade through policy and partnering with support networks, such as the International Trade Centre’s SheTrades initiative.

Male and female staff talked about how the IOE&IT stands for and strives to embody the values of Inclusivity, Opportunity and Equality in International Trade (IOE in IT).
