The gender brief is tailored to provide insight into the contributions of women in small-scale fisheries to healthy food systems and sustainable livelihoods in the United Republic of Tanzania. Approximately 220 000 women in the United Republic of Tanzania depend on small-scale fisheries for their livelihoods, mostly in the post-harvest sector. Pervasive gender norms limit women’s opportunities and decision-making power at household and community levels, as they face many gender-based constraints in fisheries value chains and they are more vulnerable to intersecting factors such as poverty and gender-based violence. Targeted actions should be undertaken to address gender inequalities and support women’s empowerment in the Tanzanian fisheries sector, including developing gender-responsive policies to address climate change and gender-based violence, collecting and sharing standardized gender data, and supporting women’s participation in fisheries associations and governance processes by reducing barriers related to gender norms.
