This paper, co-authored by Solving-FCB’s Ayodele Oloko, Dr. Louise Teh, and Solving-FCB Co-PI’s Dr. William Cheung and Dr. Rashid Sumaila considers gender inequality within the global small-scale fisheries sector. It highlights how women are disproportionately affected by climate change impacts and excluded from fisheries governance, despite their significant contributions.
The study examines barriers faced by women, such as gendered power dynamics and inadequate policies, and explores how intersectionality influences vulnerability. Finally, it offers recommendations for creating more gender-inclusive policies and adaptation strategies, advocating for greater women’s participation in decision-making and resource management.
