Often represented as a mermaid of white and blue hues and sporting long black hair, she has several names in Yoruba, Spanish, Portuguese, French and Creole. A fertility goddess, she embodies all the tenets of <b>motherhood<\/b>, like love and caring. She is also a <b>fierce<\/b> warrior. <\/p>\n                <p>The newsletter was born in February 1998 at ICSF\u2019s general body meeting. The collective needed a newsletter for its innumerable constituents\u2014organizations and individuals working on gender issues in fisheries. It is the voice of ICSF\u2019s partners and their extensive network. <\/p>\n\t\t\t    <p>Yemaya provides updates on current affairs and grassroots matters. Small-scale fisheries are specific to their locations\u2014they are highly <b>localized<\/b>. But they face similar problems and challenges. Yemaya fosters and sustains <b>links<\/b> among those working on similar issues over great distances. <\/p>\n\t            <p>Each issue carries editorial articles, profiles of fisherwomen, coverage of current affairs relevant to gender issues, new initiatives, infographics, recommendations of films and books, among other things. Each issue updates the reader on the concerns of women from fishing communities. It connects like-minded men and women from fishing communities with civil society organizations and researchers engaged with sustainable small-scale fisheries. It gives <b>visibility<\/b> to the ICSF network across the world, across the North-South <b>divide<\/b>.<\/p>\t\n                <p>It is published thrice a year in English. Newsletter articles are freely available on the ICSF website, as also in online repositories. <\/p>\t\n               \t\t\n\t\t\t <\/div>\n\t\t  <\/div>\n\t  <\/div>\n   <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A goddess popular in western Africa and Latin America lends her name to ICSF\u2019s newsletter. \u2018Yemaya\u2019 is a contraction of \u2018YeyOmoEja\u2019.
