WIF\/ LABOUR<\/strong><\/p>\n Women and Labour in Fisheries 101<\/strong><\/p>\n Recognising the lack of clarity and therefore consensus on basic terminology, this article attempts to define some common terms used in discussions around gender and labour in fisheries<\/strong><\/p>\n By Arlene Nietes Satapornvanit<\/strong> (asatapornvanit@rti.org), Project Manager, USAID Sustainable Fish Asia Local Capacity Development\/RTI International, Thailand and Meryl J Williams<\/strong> (meryljwilliams@gmail.com), Chair, Gender in Aquaculture and Fisheries Section, Asian Fisheries Society<\/p>\n Towards a common understanding on gender and labour in fisheries, we define some basic terms commonly used when applying a gender lens to activities in fish value chains, fisheries statistics, policies, and interventions. These definitions recognise the work that women do in fisheries and may help responsible parties create opportunities, address needs and reduce and\/or eliminate workplace vulnerabilities.<\/p>\n Let us begin with labour and terms commonly associated with labour.<\/p>\n Labour<\/strong> is the physical, mental, and social effort used to produce goods and services. It can also refer to those who work to produce goods and services, such as women, men, and other gender group categories.<\/p>\n Fair labour, just workand decent work<\/strong> refer to activities and initiatives that promote better working conditions for all people working in all nodes of the fisheries value chain, including addressing gender differentiated needs.<\/p>\n
