Abstract

Without women in fisheries, there will be no fish in the sea. The strap line of ICSF’s Women in Fisheries (WIF) programme underscores the importance of the role and place of women—as wives, workers, business partners, in decision making, in fishworkers’ organizations, as spokespersons etc. And unless their role and place in fisheries are recognized, and the space for women in fishworker organizations is respected, the prospects for coastal fishing communities and the resources on which they depend are bleak. In the European context, fishing communities as such are fast disappearing.
