MESSAGES…
Brazil
Cristina Maneschy, an associate member of ICSF from Brazil, wrote that she was helping to translate a couple of articles from Yemaya 2 into Portuguese. This was in response to the
request by MONAPE, the national fishworker organization of Brazil, which thought these were of great relevance to their work.
Mexico
Itza Castañeda and Lorena Aguilar, working with the IUCN in Mexico, sent a message to say that they found many of the write-ups in Yemaya 2 very useful, and were using them in the preparation of a manual on gender aspects in coastal/ marine resource management. This manual will be ready by June.
India
John Kurien, a member of ICSF from India, wrote to say that he considered the second issue of Yemaya very good. He especially commended the geographical coverage and the human interest aspects in the write-ups included, which he said, provided a lot of food for thought on issues that have been neglected for so long.
