Abstract

In the past, the role of women in fisheries policy and practice in South Africa was given little attention. Government fisheries officials, researchers and fisher activists did not of course deliberately exclude women; they merely saw little relevance for women in an industry that defines itself as predominantly male. More recently, the inclusion of general policy statements such as ‘promoting race and gender equality’ have served as catch-all phrases reflecting the apparent intent of the fisheries department to comply with the country’s progressive anti-discrimination legislation.
