Abstract

I am aware that throughout their careers women may face unique challenges. My narrative is of a woman studying Marine Sciences and then working in Catalan Government on fisheries and aquaculture. Personally, I have always had the support of my mentors, work colleagues and the fisheries sector, and have not experienced any barriers during my studies or throughout my professional career in the government. However, I can recognize the need to implement measures to reconcile work, family and personal life and the need to support women working in various areas of fisheries to obtain more of a gender balance. Linked to this, must be mentioned that in Catalonia we are actively addressing the issue through initiatives designed to promote women working in the fishing sector, empower them and, most importantly, to give women the much needed visibility and recognition they deserve.
