“…Since 2017, Canada has pursued a feminist trade policy that aims to: (1) mitigate the gendered impact of international trade rules and leverage the power of international trade to promote gender equality domestically and through Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs); (2) developing best practices for enforcing gender-based non-discrimination provisions in bilateral free trade agreements (FTAs), which could serve as a new international legal standard on gender and trade; and (3) enforcement of gender provisions in multilateral trade agreements. Overall, Canada's leadership on gender and trade is highly assessed and recognised [34].…”

The Institute of Social Entrepreneurship was legally regulated in the law system of the Republic of Kazakhstan in 2021. The state policy is aimed at ensuring entrepreneurs' participation in creating solutions in the community, assisting in the employment of socially vulnerable segments of the population providing equality for all citizens. The state addresses certain vulnerabilities of some to ensure the protection of their rights. A Kazakhstani social entrepreneur who launched an online store "Invamade" marketing items handmade by people with special needs and representatives of socially vulnerable groups proves the success of that policy. The advanced entrepreneur is aware of the problems of vulnerable people who might encounter challenges in accessing resources and tries to facilitate them by providing jobs and incomes. Particularly single mothers struggle to provide children with essential needs on the background of male dominance in more prestigious and profitable areas of construction, industry, and agriculture. Women have to be involved in lower-paid educational and social areas. Social enterprise fosters these women to reach financial independence, allowing them to combine their vulnerability with entrepreneurial activity. The article uses approaches of qualitative content analysis assessing women's participation in social entrepreneurship to resolve the gap between local methods and those of developed countries. The study reveals that legal domestic regulation of social entrepreneurship does not contribute to the active participation of women compared with developed nations mainly due to low financial education, lack of leadership skills, insufficient state financing, and gender inequality. Legal mechanisms are proposed to stimulate the involvement of Kazakhstani women in social entrepreneurship.

Женщины зачастую становятся особо уязвимыми в социальном и экономическом плане, основными причинами являются бытовое насилие, сравнительно низкий уровень заработной платы в отличие от мужчин, недопредставленность женщин во многих секторах казахстанской экономики и т.п. В отличие от классического бизнеса, социальное предприятие дает возможность женщинам стать финансово независимыми, поскольку позволяет совмещать их уязвимость с бизнесом. В результате исследования авторы пришли к заключению, что для минимизации насилия в отношении женщин недостаточно лишь предоставление временных платформ помощи в виде кризисных центров, необходимы долгосрочные меры решения проблемы в виде трудоустройства женщин в занятие предпринимательством. Немаловажным предложением стало точечное научное выявление проблем путем создания Национального института по исследованию социальных проблем, определяющего причины их возникновения, их развитие и пути преодоления. Предложены правовые механизмы по стимулированию вовлечения женщин в социальное предпринимательство Казахстана, что позволит им стать финансово независимыми и устойчивыми к неблагоприятным воздействиям.
