Most studies on women’s labor in fisheries describe the gender-based divisions of labor that exist for women and men across different value chains. A few in-depth studies have looked at the status of women working in shrimp and fish processing industries, and more rarely, as traders and business entrepreneurs. But as fisheries and aquaculture undergo rapid changes, women’s labor issues remain under-prioritized and under-investigated. Women are rarely included in formal fisheries statistics or mentioned as part of key topics, such as ending forced labor at sea; countering illegal, unreported, and unregulated fishing; sustainable fisheries discussions; and, most troublingly, coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) relief action. Women’s total labor contributions include not only their productive labor in the workforce and as business entrepreneurs, but also their reproductive and care labor in households, communities, society, and for the environment. Much of women’s labor is still to be revealed and quantified, and the means found for empowering women to secure decent work and thriving businesses.
