UN Women

UN Entity for Gender Equality and the Empowerment of Women

Gender taxation and economic empowerment

Economic freedom should be guaranteed for all women around the world. Nevertheless, products targeted to women are still subjected to a differentiated treatment even when it comes to taxation. One of the United Nations' main goals is gender equality. However, that must also be reflected on the market. To ensure that women have the opportunity to economically empower themselves and become financially independent, they must be aware of what factors are hindering their progress. In that sense, delegates will need to analyze what should be the correct approach when dealing with Gender Taxation to empower women.
