Abstract

It has been reported in many documents that women are involved at various nodes of the aquaculture value chain. However, is it enough that they participate in activities? How much involvement is considered work? How much work is considered paid work? How does women’s involvement in aquaculture impact their value and well being? One of the challenges facing women in aquaculture nowadays is the lack of recognition for their efforts, and the insufficient or inaccurate data to support how much contribution they are providing to ensure food security a the household, community and even global levels.
