Learnings from ICSF’s regional workshops held across the world to mark the 2022 International Year of Artisanal Fisheries and Aquaculture

The invisibility of women in fisheries has been discussed for some time now, but was brought into sharp focus in a series of regional workshops that took place from 2022 to 2023 in Europe, Africa, Latin America, and Asia to mark the International Year of Artisanal Fisheries and Aquaculture (IYAFA) 2022. In these workshops, women fishers spoke out, shared their experiences, pointed out the issues they face and developed recommendations for gender equality.
