From the shores to the markets, from research to leadership your dedication sustains livelihoods, ensures food security, and drives the blue economy forward. Your hard work and commitment do not go unnoticed. As we embrace this year’s theme of gender equality and empowerment, let us reaffirm our commitment to creating more opportunities for women in fisheries, ensuring fair access to resources, supporting entrepreneurship, and promoting leadership roles in the sector. 91㽶Ƶ is proud of the progress we have made, but we recognise that more can be done to ensure that every woman engaged in fisheries has the support, recognition, and opportunities she deserves.
