Abstract

Will the International Guidelines for Securing Sustainable Small-scale Fisheries (SSF Guidelines), currently being developed by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), move beyond paying lip service to gender issues in fisheries? Will they ensure that clear direction is provided on how gender issues, and, particularly, how the interests of women, can be addressed systematically in all aspects of fisheries? These are some of the issues being raised by civil society organizations (CSOs) even as the Technical Consultation to negotiate the final text of the SSF Guidelines comes up shortly, from 20 to 24 May 2013.
