Women play a similar role in the fisheries sector and fishing communities as they do in farming communities, which is to support activities relating to catching. This work comes on top of the work they do in the home, is often unpaid, is potentially damaging to their health and carries no guarantees of social protection.
Women account for only 3% of the workforce in catching, yet there is a much larger proportion of women active in harvesting and aquaculture, which shows that progress has been made in bringing more women into the workforce.
Gender issues continue to take a backseat in this sector, and levels of female involvement in fisheries bodies and associations remain very low.
Against this backdrop, we support the setting up of women’s networks and associations in the fisheries sector at both local and national level. These will enjoy Community support and will have the following objectives: to make the role of women in the sector more visible; to increase the involvement of women in the decision-making process on the common fisheries policy; and to draw attention to the need to preserve fisheries as an economic, social and cultural activity that is of key importance to the development of fishing communities in different countries."@en1
