In Canada, and across the globe, women make diverse and substantial contributions to small-scale fisheries, yet they face considerable barriers to equitable representation and participation in fisheries management and decision-making. Here we bring forward evidence and insights on progress towards gender equitable small-scale fisheries management in Canada, and identify where and how researchers, policy makers and practitioners could push to further advance gender equality. Increasingly, it is recognized that diverse, gender inclusive fisheries management spaces increase management legitimacy and effectiveness. Despite this recognition, fewer women than men progress from entry-level to managerial positions, with access to education and skills training as a barrier in some contexts. Domestic and care duties continue to fall unevenly on the shoulders of women, constraining their participation in management activities. Because of intersecting identities that further disadvantage them, certain women and gender diverse peoples face even more barriers limiting their participation. And while there is evidence of efforts to emphasize gender inclusion and integration into fisheries governance in Canada, efforts must go beyond gender to embed an intersectional approach to understand and overcome barriers to advancing gender equitable and inclusive small-scale fisheries governance in Canada for the benefit of all.
