Bill overview
The Women’s Economic Empowerment in Trade Act of 2024 aims to strengthen the Generalized System of Preferences (GSP) program by ensuring that beneficiary developing countries uphold equal rights and protections for all, regardless of gender. Specifically, the bill modifies eligibility criteria for the GSP, requiring countries to demonstrate compliance with international human rights standards and worker rights, and establishes a process for reviewing and reporting on these standards. It also mandates the collection and public dissemination of information regarding a country’s compliance with these criteria, and introduces a regular review process to assess a country’s adherence to these standards and potentially reduce trade benefits if necessary.
