Women empowerment in fisheries

The project, which involved five FLAGs, is divided into five Work Packages. Specific phases and activities within the project included: a survey and analysis of the state of the art in the partnership areas (data collection, categorization, comparative analysis, and processing); the development of an Action Strategy for "thematic communities" of women; the implementation of this action plan involve a series of activities.

The planned actions included various information, training and awareness-raising programmes, as well as the testing of new empowerment models for young female entrepreneurs who were supported to network, both locally and inter-territorially, in order to develop new skills; become more aware of their role in fisheries and the quality of the work each of them performs; and achieve greater social recognition. A significant portion of the project's activities was dedicated to communication and awareness-raising, involving not only women but also various stakeholders in the fishing sector and schools.
