Small-scale fisheries depend on the knowledge, labour, and leadership of both women and men. But, decision-making spaces often fail to reflect that reality. Across the tropics, women play vital roles in coastal fisheries: catching, processing, trading, and sustaining household economies. Yet their perspectives and priorities are frequently excluded from local governance. We work to change this by supporting more inclusive and equitable participation in how marine resources are managed. We recognise the essential role women and girls play in sustaining coastal livelihoods, and collaborate with communities to strengthen their voice, agency, and representation in local decision-making.
