Abstract
Fisheries, like other economic sectors, is not immune to gender inequality, and women tend to experience the brunt of inequality as undervalued and under-represented fisheries actors within small-scale fisheries (SSF) management and development. Different approaches to address gender inequality, particularly women’s marginalisation in the fisheries sector, are gaining momentum. We undertook a study to gain a more comprehensive understanding of these efforts, including the gender approaches employed and the barriers and opportunities for fisheries organisations in Melanesia. This article is a short summary of our open access scientific paper published in the journal Marine Policy.
