Abstract

Today, in the context of the ‘decentralisation’ policies being implemented in Sénégal since January 1998, many local elected representatives are taking over the lands of fishing communities in order to develop infrastructure, such as city halls, houses and industries. This process has aggravated the problems of local people, in particular, those of fishery-dependent coastal populations. Despite their prominent economic and social role and their vital contribution to food security, fishworkers are still confronted by serious difficulties, and women are the most affected. The absence of a social status for women explains their marginalization but does not justify it.
