Abstract

For more than ten years, Portuguese fisherwomen had been members of Estrela do Mar (Sea Star), an informal network under the umbrella of Mútua dos Pescadores, a specialized insurance company, registered as a co-operative, for fisheries and maritime activities. The fisherwomen decided to work together as part of an informal network to get to know each other before establishing a formal association. In this period, Estrela do Mar was able to successfully promote fisherwomen rights within the fisheries sector.
