At the end of the day, remember your worth, trust that your voice is valued at the table & do not be scared to challenge the norms. #TradeElite

[Kseniya Stogniy, CITP® @KStogs]

A8: Yes, and a lot of this is attributed to working at @ExportDevCanada, which does a lot to support women's empowerment - both within & outside the org. We have recently joined the UN Women Women’s Empowerment Principles community.

[Kseniya Stogniy, CITP® @KStogs]

A7: Encourage and support one another. Make connections and leverage your network. Share success stories (and failures too). Acknowledge challenges and work through them together. #TradeElite #WomenSupportingWomen

A6: CPTPP is a great example of work being done to create gender equality - it includes dedicated provisions to women's economic growth. By removing barriers for women to do business internationally, economic growth wins as a whole. #TradeElite

[Kseniya Stogniy, CITP® @KStogs]

And can't forget, @JennCooke_ and @thelinaalvarez - our Women in Trade leads at @ExportDevCanada !

A4: Our fantastic CEO & President @Mairead_Lavery of @ExportDevCanada is such an inspiration & encourages women to take bold steps internationally every day.

Of course, @Ailish_Campbell and @CGTheodore. They are incredible at championing Canada on the world stage!

A3: Programs are becoming available to help open doors - women are leaning on each other for mentorship, sharing networks & experiences. Also supplier diversity programs are being developed. #TradeElite #WomenSupportingWomen

[Kseniya Stogniy, CITP® @KStogs]

A2: Identifying a market is definitely a big one - social & gender norms in some countries can be a barrier. Accessing capital & lacking appropriate networks are others. Sometimes taking the plunge to try exporting for the 1st time can be the biggest barrier of all. #TradeElite

[Kseniya Stogniy, CITP® @KStogs]

A1: While women have definitely come a long way, there is still room for improvement! Research has shown that advancing women’s economic equality will benefit all Canadians, but only 11% of today’s women-owned businesses in Canada are exporting. #TradeElite #WomenInTrade
