Demmke, Patricia Tuara Gender issues in the Pacific Islands tuna industry. UNSPECIFIED.
Full text not available from this repository. (Request a copy)Abstract
In this document studies show that men and women are both involved in all aspects of the tuna industry with most women found in the processing (small scale and commercial) and marketing for the domestic market. Most men are found in the capture and commercial marketing areas. The increase in a woman's work load and domestic responsibilities, poor working conditions in processing factories, the transmission of sexually transmitted diseases including HIV/AIDS, alcohol and drug abuse are a few negative aspects that affect the health and well being of women. Socio cultural beliefs, family obligations, lack of skills and experience, lack of direct access to credit and finance, transport restrictions, and poor market facilities restrict women from participating or participating equally in the industry.
