The International Collective in Support of Fishworkers (ICSF) has released the latest edition of Yemaya, its newsletter on gender and fisheries. Yemaya No. 57, dated July 2018, features articles from Sri Lanka, India, and an analytical article on sex-segregated employment data in the recently released SOFIA 2018 (The State of World Fisheries and Aquaculture, 2018). The editorial comment stresses the lack of recognition disbars women from policies and programmes supporting livelihood development. The article on Sri Lanka show that declining levels’ of women’s employment in the fisheries indicate the growing invisibility of women’s work in the sector. The Trincomalee women fishers lack the financial and physical support required to improve their livelihood opportunities. The article on innovative boat clinics, Ships of hope, shows how the floating clinics of the Brahmaputra basin in India fulfil mission to 2.5 mn people inhabiting the islands of the river, who are marginalised, poor and vulnerable. From Sadiya to Dhubri, children, women, and the elderly crowd the boat Clinics with health queries and for general check-ups. The article, Where have all the women gone? looks at the challenges in improving the data collection and reporting and for the use of more standardised methodologies across data sets in the light of recently published SOFIA 2018. Nalini Nayak in her review article on, Women’s Participation and Leadership in Fisherfolk Organizations and Collective Action in Fisheries, argues that it is a fine overview of what is written and documented about women in fisheries. This desk study by Enrique Alonso-Poblacion and Susana V. Siar identifies opportunities where women have successfully participated in organisations and how such examples could be scaled up in other situations where constraints are high. In Ockhis Wake (the title of documentary film being made by ICSF), Shibani Chaudhury describes the challenges women faces in the aftermath of Cyclone Ockhi and the multiple dimension of disaster preparedness that still need attention. The film, In Ockhis Wake is under production and will be made available online soon at ICSF site.

The Milestones column presents the strong gender dimension of the new Costa Rica bill, General Law for the Sustainability of Small-scale, Artisanal Fisheries in the Context of Food Security, Poverty Eradication and Shared Governance’. This bill highlights the role of women played in the fisheries sector and the enduring value of local traditional knowledge. The bill recognises that measures governing the small-scale, artisanal fisheries sector must be in harmony with human rights regarding women and based on the specific women’s needs of each community. The What’s New, Webby? column presents the findings of recent report titled, Putting Gender equality on the Seafood Industry’s Agenda: Results of a Global Survey of Women in Seafood Industry by WSI. The 18-question survey covers the personal occupation and position of the respondent, his or her perception that women occupy in the seafood industry and specifically in his or her company. The survey pays attention to positive initiatives as well. The Yemaya Recommends section talks about how the video Animation on Gener Equity and Equality attempts to capture the main issues related to gender equality in small-scale fisheries.
