Abstract

In fisheries, 47 million women and an unknown number in aquaculture make up nearly half of the workers in production, processing, trading, and marketing (FAO et al., 2023). Despite major contributions, women are frequently not recognized and supported, do not have a voice in setting sectoral directions and lack control over their own work needs. Historical biases against women still operate in the workplace and community, affecting household food and financial security, and women's physical safety and wellbeing. From the 1980s, researchers began investigating why gender matters and how to improve gender equality in fisheries and aquaculture (GAFS, 2018).
