Abstract
Fishing is often classified as men’s occupation, and women are believed to have little role to play. However, in reality, women comprise almost 47 per cent of the 120 million people engaged in capture fisheries. Though women play a large role in fish trade and fish processing, these roles have been relatively invisible until recently when researchers started paying attention to the fishing industry’s value chain. When trade and processing began to be included in the analysis, women’s substantial contribution tothe fishing industry became visible. There is now more and more evidence that women’s participation in fisheries is important.
