This 40th edition of the Pacific Community’s (SPC) Women in Fisheries Information Bulletin has 15 original articles from the Pacific region, Nigeria and Timor-Leste. It is inspiring to see so much work going on in the gender and fisheries and aquaculture space, and not just in the Pacific. We are grateful to our authors for publishing their work so that others may learn and benefit. In this edition, the Vanuatu Fisheries Department hosted its first Women in Fisheries Forum to provide a platform for ni-Vanuatu women in fisheries to share their concerns, success stories, challenges faced, and opportunities for the future. The Fiji Ministry of Fisheries describe an example of a fishers’ cooperative in Fiji and how groups of fisherwomen and fishermen are working together. The Kiribati’s Ministry of Fisheries and Marine Resources Development is supporting the creation of women associations dedicated to fisheries management and community development. We have articles on fisheries value chains, an octopus fishery, food safety training, and social responsibility assessments of the tuna industry. Ayodele Oloko writes on the plight of female fish traders in fish-for-sex transactions in Sub-Saharan Africa, which ties well topically to a workshop the Pacific Community hosted on gender-based violence in fisheries in the Pacific. Finally, the Kiwa Initiative has developed three Pacific-centric tools to support nature-based solutions practitioners which includes fisheries – an introductory booklet to human rights, a guide to conducting a human rights risk assessment, and a guide to gender equity, disability and social inclusion analysis. We welcome several new lead authors to the bulletin who shared their work – Shania Chand, Jenny House, Pretika Kumar, Vasemaca Malverus, Mark Nicholson, Rusila Savou, Tarateiti Uriam Timiti and Lyn Vaike. Keep those stories coming. “Sharing knowledge is not about giving people something, or getting something from them. That is only valid for information sharing. Sharing knowledge occurs when people are genuinely interested in helping one another develop new capacities for action …” – Peter Senge
