Pakistan Single Window (PSW) has been honored with the International Prize on Gender Equality in Trade. The prestigious award recognizes governments that have implemented innovative and impactful gender-responsive trade policies.
The announcement came after the launch of the prize on March 6, 2024, by the Co-Chairs of the WTO Informal Working Group on Trade and Gender: Patricia Benedetti (WTO Ambassador of El Salvador), Simon Manley (WTO Ambassador of the UK), and Clara Delgado (WTO Ambassador of Cabo Verde).
PSW secured the award in Category I, “Female Entrepreneurs,” for their outstanding Export Program titled “Khadijah Women Entrepreneurship Program.”
