Abstract

In the last 15 years since the launch of the Women in Fisheries Programme in the ICSF, much has happened. In several parts of the world, women in fisheries have come together, created networks, intervened in fishworker organizations and tried to spell out a feminist agenda for the future development of fisheries. What have we achieved? While I feel reluctant to make broad generalizations, some loud thinking might perhaps stimulate discussion.
