Abstract

Although women’s work in fisheries is diverse and wide and differs by culture and region and between rural and urban areas, the common factor is that it is rarely seen as ‘productive’; instead, it is normally seen as an extension of the ‘domestic’ space. Although 47 per cent of the total workforce in fisheries comes from women, their role is invisible, unrecognized, undervalued and under-represented.
