The Trade for People - Not People for Trade campaign is an initiative of the Ecumenical Advocacy Alliance, of which the World YWCA is a founding member. The campaign is working to engage churches and church-related organisations to promote trade justice.

Trade for People calls for prioritising human rights agreements over trade agreements.

Campaign focus areas:

• · right to food
• access to essential services
• regulation of transnational corporations

Campaign objectives :

• trade rules and practices that further the right to food and sustainable agriculture, and promote greater self-reliance in developing countries
• global and national policies and trade rules that ensure access for all to essential services as defined by human rights principles
• regulation of transnational corporations (TNCs) that ensures that they contribute to poverty eradication, promotion of human rights and protection of the environment
