Abstract

“Women play a double role in fishing—directly, in the processing sector, and indirectly, as wives. But this latter role is not recognized, and hence remains invisible”. Europe-wide, this statement made about Spain by Maria-José Gonzalez Martinez, General Secretary of FEABP (the Spanish Federation of Fishing Boat Owners), is something all fishing women’s associations share. A study has shown that views are similar in the 15 member States of the European Union (EU), where 84,000 women work in the fishing industry, representing 22 per cent of the workforce.
