Abstract

Women are working to transform fisheries and aquaculture in the Mediterranean and the Black Sea. International Women’s Day 2023 is an opportunity to reflect on the contribution of women to the sector, while recognizing that more still needs to be done to acknowledge and advance their key role in the value chain. FAO has been leading efforts to enhance the role of women in sustainable fisheries and aquaculture in both the Mediterranean Sea and the Black Sea through the General Fisheries Commission for the Mediterranean (GFCM). The GFCM recognizes the longstanding role women have played in the region’s fisheries and aquaculture sectors – from capture fisheries, to fish farming, scientific research and decision-making – and is taking strategic action to shed light on the role of women in the sector. In particular, the GFCM d is committed to improving education and awareness to advance their contribution to the sector.
