Women in Asian fisheries
A useful publication that includes papers on women in fisheries from different Asian countries
The proceedings of the International Symposium on Women in Asian Fisheries held during the Fifth Asian Fisheries Forum at Chiang Mai, Thailand in November 1998 are now available. The proceedings have been published by ICLARM. The volume includes the 13 presentations made at the symposium describing regional experiences from countries in the Indo-China region, including Bangladesh, India, the Philippines, Taiwan and Thailand. Discussions at this meeting made it clear that women and children make highly significant but undervalued contributions to fisheries, aquaculture, fish processing, retailing and fisheries sector services. The publication can be downloaded from the ICLARM website (iclarm@cgiar.org).
