Women Interrogating Trade & Corporate Hegemony (WITCH) focuses on building the capacity of women’s rights organisations to understand, analyse, effectively engage and influence trade and investment agreements and policies; as well as to increase solidarity to advance feminist trade justice and dismantle corporate hegemony. The programme works with APWLD members and other social movements to demand spaces and political decisions for trade and investment frameworks that promote, protect and fulfil human rights and Development Justice.
