USAID: Accelerating Gender Equity in Southeast Asia’s Fisheries (Philippines)

The Challenge

Fishing is traditionally thought of as a man’s profession, but in Southeast Asia, women make up more than 50% of the industry’s workforce. Despite their important role, women’s work often goes unseen. This video provides an overview of women’s role in the fishing industry in Southeast Asia. While the video features communities and workplaces in Southern Mindanao, Philippines, it represents many of the gender roles and challenges women experience throughout the region.
