Abstract

As a civil servant working in the fisheries bureaucracy and as a Master’s student in fisheries management, I have often wondered why women’s position in fisheries seems to be so important within the household economy and so marginal in fisheries politics. Their contributions to industry output are poorly registered and recognized. Women have been identified as producers, assistants to fishermen, processors—predominantly involved in post-harvest activities—traders, and prominent actors in activities that are not directly related to fisheries but are essential for family and community welfare.
