Abstract

The 8th Global Conference on Gender in Aquaculture and Fisheries held in India in November 2022 raised several important issues for gender-just and sustainable fisheries and aquaculture. A running theme in the discussions was the importance of both strengthening the capacity of women fish workers to organize, and developing new models of organizing to meet the economic and environmental challenges confronting the Small-scale and artisanal fisheries. The discussions harkened back to the networking among strong fishworker organisations in the past, often facilitated by the ICSF, that resulted in the Voluntary Guidelines for Securing Sustainable Small-Scale Fisheries in the Context of Food Security and Poverty Eradication (the SSF Guidelines). The discussions reiterated the continuing need for strong organising efforts and alliances to respond to the dynamic and shifting patterns in modern fisheries. Also stressed was the need for formal recognition of women’s role in the fisheries sector, and the urgent requirement to formalise customary rights to prevent their erosion due to competitive challenges.
