translate English to French: It was noted that, in the face of market liberalization for services, both internally and externally, women had been exposed both to market instability caused by, for instance, shifts in competitiveness and comparative advantage and, most importantly, to risks that were women-specific.
On a fait observer que face à la libéralisation des services, tant sur le plan interne que sur le plan externe, les femmes étaient exposées non seulement à l'instabilité des marchés due notamment à l'évolution de la compétitivité et des avantages comparatifs, mais aussi et surtout à des risques qui leur étaient propres.
