Introduction
The impetus for “progressive liberalization” in the trade in services has prompted a serious look at the impact of this policy on various services sectors. Among the sectors that women and feminists have chosen to study is the audio-visual2 services sector. This paper begins to unravel the implications of various trade agreements under the World Trade Organization (WTO) on women and, more importantly, on cultural transformation that promotes gender equality.
The essay begins with an identification of the elements of the different trade agreements that have an impact on the structure and character of the audio-visual services sector. The identification includes the issues and debates that have occurred around the policies applied to this sector.
