Abstract

In November 1997, over 120 men and women fishers and fishworkers representing fishworker organizations from 32 countries met in New Delhi, India, to establish the WFF. This organization is meant to be an international solidarity network for the protection of fisheries resources and the coastal communities that depend on them for their livelihood. One of the objectives stated in the WFF’s preliminary charter is to “recognize, protect and enhance the role of women in the fishing economy and in the sustenance of the community.”
