Yemaya Recommends: Women in Small-scale Fisheries in Ghana – the unsung heroines

This documentary showcases Ghana where the most pressing issues are those of overfishing and pollution due to a rapid decline of fisheries in the country.

“I’ve learned that I should do away with fear,” declares Juliana Anna Dogbe Kumado a fishmonger in Ghana and a participant in the One Ocean Hub workshop, “I can do as well as a man does and I can even do it better!” Her confidence, determination, and conviction shine through my laptop screen.

I am watching a YouTube documentary hosted by the platform, One Ocean Hub. This platform, anchored at, and led by, the University of Strathclyde, is funded by an agency named UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) through the Global Challenges Research Fund (GCRF). In the African continent, One Ocean Hub runs programs in Ghana, Namibia and South Africa, taking a collaborative approach to address intractable ocean challenges.
