Abstract

Small-scale fisheries contribute about half of all fish catches in developing countries, making a major contribution to food security and nutrition. They employ 90 per cent of the world’s capture fishers and fishworkers, and women represent half of them! Women engage along the whole fisheries value chain, including fishing and mending nets, shellfish collection and diving for abalone and pearls. Often they are also responsible for post-harvest activities, including trade and labour-intensive value addition, such as drying, smoking and salting, besides being the caretakers of the family and communities.
