Dear Friends and Colleagues,
Today we are excited to celebrate International Women’s Day and the immense contribution of women in aquatic food systems and related local economies across the world. With half of the sector's entire workforce as women, it is crucial that we continue to innovate and provide these women with the tools and technologies they need to prosper while protecting our aquatic ecosystems.
Women are often confronted with barriers to information, markets, as well as financial and technical services. Innovative tools, such as automated analytics systems for small-scale fisheries, climate information services and mobile banking, have helped women across the value chain overcome these inherent barriers.
At WorldFish, our scientists continue to innovate these and more solutions to harness the critical role of women in transforming food systems with sustainable aquatic foods. We are committed to reaching gender parity in our workplace with a focus on gender-focused impact.
Join us in our celebration as we spotlight some of our inspirational scientists below. On behalf of WorldFish, I also invite you to explore some of the groundbreaking research and innovations addressing gender disparity in aquatic food systems.
