Women play significant role in the fisheries sectors in terms of their involvement in fish related activities viz. fish vending; fish drying, value addition, fish packing, and marketing. Fisherwomen have multi faceted tasks to perform not only in fisheries but in their families and communities, Yet their role is remain unrecognized. This situation has to change and women should be considered as equal partners and productive participants in fisheries activities that will improve their own and their family's nutritional and living standards. Though, the status of womenfolk in Kerala gone up considerably with the influence of education, the condition of fisherwomen remains unenviable. Little attention has been given to accord the role of women in fisheries as far as policy makers are concerned. The fact is that women have demonstrated their ability to work successfully at all levels of the sector, their roles were undermined. This particular research study is providing an opportunity to heighten the awareness on empowerment levels of fisher women being involved in fishery sector. The book on “Women Empowerment and Fisheries Sector in Kerala” is an output of research conducted among 200 fisherwomen from various occupational groups in analyzing their level of income generation and empowerment status.
