Recent case studies in Cambodia, Myanmar and Thailand explored women\u2019s roles in the fisheries value chain<\/strong><\/p>\n By Jariya Sornkliang<\/strong> (jariya@seafdec.org), Fisheries Management Scientist, Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center, Thailand<\/p>\n Women\u2019s contributions in the fisheries value chain are not well recognised, even though there are many tasks in the fisheries value chain involving women. To show how important the women involved in fisheries are, gender analysis on women and men\u2019s roles in fisheries is crucial. Gender analysis reveals context in a fishing community and promotes gender integration and responsiveness in fisheries development plans.<\/p>\n In the period 2017-2018, the Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center (SEAFDEC), supported by the Government of Sweden and in partnership with the Mangroves for the Future project under the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN\/MFF) as well as the Stockholm Environment Institute (SEI), conducted an important regional gender study in South and Southeast Asia. SEAFDEC selected the study sites in three areas, namely, Kep in Cambodia, Kawthaung in Myanmar, and Trat in Thailand. The study aimed to understand the state of women and men in the fisheries value chain of each study site. The study brought to light several interesting findings with respect to women and men\u2019s roles in the fisheries value chains in each of the three study sites.<\/p>\n
