Abstract

For women across the world, March 8 symbolizes the International Women’s Day—a day that marks the struggles of women for gaining equality and freedom, for ending gender-based discrimination and violence in all aspects of life, and for a more just and equitable world order. This year, women from fi shing communities from different parts of the world marked the day in their own different ways. The following examples, from fi shing communities in three continents, Pakistan and Sri Lanka in Asia, Chile from the Americas, and Guinea-Bissau and Uganda in Africa, bring out the different immediate priorities facing fishing women, while stressing the underlying common threads of their struggles.
