Recent media revelations and scientific research have brought increased attention to human rights violations and the myriad social issues facing fisheries, but with a disproportionate focus on labor rights violations at sea and in industrial fishing operations. Resulting social standards and schemes to address and mitigate these human rights violations are focused on at-sea offshore operations and the harvesting stage. These are imperative for protecting the rights of fishers, but may preclude efforts to protect women who are engaged in harvesting on-shore or in post-harvest stages. This is exacerbated by the fact that the laser-focused protection of civil and political rights, often important for industrial scale fishing, has diminished attention and resources from protecting economic, social, and cultural (ESC) rights in small-scale fisheries. The protection of women's rights in seafood value chains urgently deserves more focus, as does the broader suite of human rights that are particularly relevant in small-scale fisheries. small-scale fisheries We end by providing concrete examples and best practices for protecting ESC and women’s rights in seafood value chains, in hopes of broader-scale recognition and adoption.
