Editorial
Acid attacks are a brutal form of violence against women in India, often stemming from domestic disputes, dowry demands, or rejected marriage proposals. The document discusses recent cases of acid attacks and gang rape in India. It outlines government efforts to restrict acid sales by requiring identification. However, acid remains easily available, and attacks continue to severely impact victims physically and psychologically. The document highlights some positive examples of acceptance, such as a man who married an acid attack survivor against his family's wishes, showing hopeful signs of an improving societal mindset. Overall, stricter laws and punishments are needed, along with changing social attitudes through gender sensitization to eliminate acid attacks against women in India.

3. Overcoming these obstacles requires support through targeted training programs, access to financing, and initiatives to change social norms regarding women's roles in the economy and empower them to participate fully in entrepreneurship.

The document discusses women entrepreneurs in India. It notes that while women make up the majority of the population in India, business remains male-dominated. Women entrepreneurs face challenges such as lack of confidence, socio-cultural barriers, market risks, lack of motivation and awareness of financial assistance. Educating and training women in business administration can help address some of these challenges. The document outlines additional business opportunities for women entrepreneurs in sectors such as eco-friendly technology, biotechnology, IT, tourism, telecommunications and food processing. Promoting women's entrepreneurship is important for economic growth and development.

The World Bank grapples with gender inequality: Neoliberalism with a feminist...AFS Gender in Aquaculture and Fisheries
This presentation, given at the 6th Global Symposium on Gender in Aquaculture and Fisheries (GAF6), discussed a recent paper by Elisabeth Pruegl (“Neoliberalism with a feminist face: Crafting a new hegemony at the World Bank,” Feminist Economics, 2016) on the World Bank’s approaches to gender equality. Starting in 2001, empirical attempts to establish that economic growth and gender equality (and poverty reduction) were positively correlated produced mixed results: some studies supported the correlation, others contradicted it or gave ambivalent answers. The Bank then turned to micro-level studies, e.g., of institutions such as markets that had failed women. Should women be changed or markets and other social institutions be changed? The presentations at GAF6 reflected some of the possible answers to these questions. If women are considered unequal because of their different endowments, overcoming the gender gap with interventions to help women to compete can help, as illustrated by the participatory projects described by Supaporn Anuchiracheeva in the Earth Net Foundation, Thailand, and the Myanmar agribusiness skills training described by Ram Bhujel. Many presentations also addressed giving women greater voice, rights and negotiating power. Roel Bosma concluded that mass media communication needs to be used to enhance profound changes in norms, values and attitudes of men, before gender equality can be reached. Conversely, GAF6 participants often talked about markets and the economy as absolutes, e.g., lamenting but not challenging the low prices women receive in wages, and accepting the fish price as a financial fact, rather than as a constructed negotiable factor. Pruegl concluded that the World Bank’s emerging “modified kind of neoliberalism produces substantial openings” because it starts to address also the “coercively gendered institutions” previously treated as private, such as the family and care giving. In the new approach, the actors may become more embodied, less abstract. Susana Siar’spresentations on Costa Rica cockle harvesters and Amonrat Sermwatanakul’s social media marketing of Siamese fighting fish both revealed the embodied power of women’s agency. As fisheries and aquaculture are certainly about markets, and many at GAF6 stressed the need for a fish value chain approach, making markets for fish, for labor, enterprises, etc., work for women appear as worthwhile spaces for research and action in achieving gender equality.Engendering Security in Fisheries and Aquaculture
This document summarizes discussions from the 6th Global Symposium on Gender in Aquaculture and Fisheries (GAF6). Key points include:
1) While policies like the Small-Scale Fisheries Guidelines have opened opportunities for gender equality, implementation challenges remain, such as women's underrepresentation in decision-making and lack of inclusion in fisheries statistics and policies.
2) Case studies from different regions showed that women face barriers participating in fisheries governance due to social and cultural norms. Projects have had mixed success incorporating gender equality, though some new projects are more committed.
3) Aquaculture is also gendered, with women typically involved in small-scale, home-based operations or

This is an overview report of the gender papers presented at the 2016 Conference of the International Institute for Fisheries Economics and Trade (IIFET), Aberdeen, UK, 11-15 July 2016. From the 14 presentations and discussions on gender at IIFET-2016, the following points were highlighted: (a) sex-disaggregated data and indicators must be improved, (b) gender analysis of value chains can inform policy, (c) women are critical to adding value to fish, and (d) ultimately men still make most of the key household decisions, notwithstanding interventions that seek to empower women. We conclude by making some suggestions to IIFET.Looking through a Gender Lens at Social Responsibility in Aquaculture
Looking through a Gender Lens at Social Responsibility in AquacultureAFS Gender in Aquaculture and Fisheries
“Create, Nurture, Grow” projects a mix of feminine and masculine qualities and a dynamic vision for aquaculture. How well is this agreeably gendered image of aquaculture supported by the actual participation of women and men? Increasingly, aquaculture will need to prove its credentials on social responsibility, of which gender is a critical social dimension. In most aquaculture value chains, little research on gender and gender equality has been conducted, resulting in a poor base of knowledge from which to build a policy and action, and allowing opinion and pre-conceived positions to rule. A gender lens, which takes gender into account when examining the roles, powers, rights and relationships of people in aquaculture, is needed. A gender lens not only helps to understand the status of women in the sector, but also provides evidence on how to improve the outcomes for all people in the value chain.
To illustrate how gendered analysis of value chains can provide knowledge to guide socially responsible production, this presentation examines two aquaculture value chains –Vietnam shrimp destined for international markets, and mussels grown for the local market in Kerala, India. Because they are new and developing rapidly, these value chains are influenced but not bound totally by existing cultural conditions and economic structures.
In the Vietnam shrimp value chain, the major forces have been external markets, the environment and shrimp disease. The scale of operations has a major impact on social and economic outcomes and on gender roles and relationships. The evolution of the value chain towards industrial scale export enterprises has also created risks for small and medium scale enterprises, who must grow and/or cope. Women and men are both affected but tend to adopt different coping strategies. As scale increases, the work within the value chain tends to become more gender differentiated.
In Kerala mussel farming, domestic welfare movements and resources, such as the Self Help Groups and research-driven technology, have helped initiate the industry. In a rare development, women have been the major actors in what has become very profitable farming but individual and family farms also operate. Despite and because of the early success of mussel farming, second phase issues which have gender implications are arising, especially over the access to rights over farming sites, investments in new technology to grow the businesses and product quality assurance. Whereas the first phase was well supported by a highly gendered processes directed towards women’s welfare, the mussel value chain is likely to evolve a much different gender and ownership structure.
From these cases, conclusions and recommendations can be drawn to help aquaculture institutions and operators become more gender equitable and more socially responsible. Fish, Food Security and Nutrition: presented at 10th Indian Fisheries and Aqu...
Fish, Food Security and Nutrition: presented at 10th Indian Fisheries and Aqu...AFS Gender in Aquaculture and Fisheries
This presentation was presented by Meryl Williams, based on the full written report: HLPE, 2014. Sustainable fisheries and aquaculture for food security and nutrition. A report by the High Level Panel of Experts on Food Security and Nutrition of the Committee on World Food Security, Rome 2014.(http://www.fao.org/cfs/cfs-hlpe/reports/en/).
This report addresses a frequently overlooked but extremely important part of world food and nutrition security: the role and importance of fish in seeking food and nutrition security for all. Fisheries and aquaculture have often been arbitrarily separated from other parts of the food and agricultural systems in food security studies, debates and policy-making.
The report presents a synthesis of existing evidence regarding the complex pathways between fisheries and aquaculture and food and nutrition security, including the environmental, economic and social dimensions, as well as issues related to governance. It provides insights on what needs to be done to achieve sustainable fisheries and aquaculture in order to strengthen their positive impact on food and nutrition security.
The ambition of this compact yet comprehensive report is to help the international community to share and understand the wide spectrum of issues that make fisheries and aquaculture such an important part of efforts to assure food security for all.Does women’s empowerment have economic benefits?
This document discusses whether women's empowerment has economic benefits in the context of fish value chains. It finds that narrow economic efforts to empower women often fail and leave inequality intact. Studies show women are concentrated in lower-paying post-harvest jobs and their contributions are often uncounted. Broader social and policy changes may be needed to achieve meaningful empowerment and equality. Applying economic analysis through a feminist lens could help deepen understanding of gender issues in fish value chains.

Need, Greed and Speed: What History Tells Us about Fisheries (and Aquaculture)AFS Gender in Aquaculture and Fisheries
This document provides an overview of a presentation given by Meryl J Williams at the Oceans Past IV conference in November 2012. The presentation explored ideas around fisheries management using a network analysis approach, with a focus on three case studies: Northern Australian trepang, Southern bluefin tuna, and Southeast Asian small pelagic fish. It discussed concepts like fisheries management versus governance and used terms from actor-network theory to analyze changes and translations in fisheries networks over time. The document included disclaimers that the presentation represented preliminary exploration of ideas rather than definitive conclusions.Fisheries Changes Challenge Gender-sensitive Development
1) The Asian Fisheries Society first addressed gender issues in fisheries in 1990 but little progress has been made in achieving gender equality. Gender blindness and inequality reduce the quality and value of fish for all.
2) All changes in fisheries are "gendered" as evidenced by cases like the Canadian cod fishery collapse which impacted women and men differently and the transition of mussel farming in India from a women's enterprise to one dominated by men.
3) To properly address gender issues, the focus needs to shift from just "empowering women" to tackling economic participation and political empowerment gaps, which require challenging prevailing systems of power and privilege.

1) Interest in gender issues in aquaculture and fisheries has fluctuated over time, with periods of increased attention followed by decreased focus when funding dries up.
2) Past approaches have often focused only on women, ignoring how gender also shapes men's identities, and have proposed simple solutions that do not address underlying power imbalances.
3) Truly gender-sensitive practices require considering fisheries and aquaculture as complex socio-economic systems and gaining a stronger understanding of how gender intersects with other social factors like class. Breaking the cycle of rising and falling interest will need conceptual frameworks informed by social science and gender education.
