Abstract

Women in Mauritania play a key role in the promotion and development of artisanal fisheries. This role is especially visible in the retailing and processing of fish, two lucrative activities that generate income, and without which fish would not arrive on the table. But as women represent a weak link in the chain, they remain marginalized. They still do not have much in the way of means of production or any recognized training in management. Women working in the artisanal fishing sector benefit neither from State support nor from professional fishing organizations, which regard the sector as a strictly male preserve.
