Abstract

From Sri Lanka to Spain, across the world’s coastlines, women form the invisible backbone of fisheries and aquaculture. They mend nets, process catches, gather shellfish, manage households, and keep fishing communities afloat. Yet women enjoy little or no recognition, legal protection, or voice in decision-making processes. As the articles in this issue of Yemaya illustrate, although women’s labour sustains families and communities, they remain marginalized by inadequate policy and regressive social norms. In an era of climate crises, ecological decline, and economic uncertainty, this exclusion is not only unjust but threatens the future of the fisheries sector itself.
