Addressing the main Problems faced by Women in the Fishing Sector

WOFNET has established that Women from fisher households are involved in fish
processing, aquaculture, small-scale fishing and fish selling, but less often in
commercial fishing. The main problems faced by fisher women are:
a) They’re confined to less visible roles. Although women are and have always
been present in the fishing industry, in most instances their participation is
neither socially acknowledged nor economically remunerated. This is primarily
due to the fact that the stages at which they become involved aren’t the most
visible ones, both within and outside the community.
b) Women often have no control over income earned from fisheries’ activities.
c) Women lack opportunities to hold managerial and decision-making posts. The
main obstacles appear to be a lack of confidence in their abilities to hold such
positions, as well as finding sufficient time to do so.
d) There are high numbers of male-either moving away from fishing grounds leaving
an increased workload for women, or moving into fishing grounds where they
compete with women for scarce resources. For example, if a fish project goes
well, there may be an influx of males which may limit the resulting benefits for
women.
WOFNET is working with Women in fishing communities to ensure that such obstacles
are addressed.um iure reprehenderit, qui in ea voluptate velit esse, quam nihil molestiae consequatur, vel illum, qui dolorem eum fugiat, quo voluptas nulla pariatur?
