This website is a rich trove of information about the Women in Fisheries NetworkFiji (WiFN-Fiji), a not-for-profit organization working to strengthen the involvement, and improve the conditions, of women in Fiji’s fisheries sector.
WiFN-Fiji was established to fulfil several key objectives. These include supporting, strengthening and empowering women engaged in the fisheries; supporting and evaluating pilot fisheries projects; supporting research that contributes to sustainable fisheries, livelihoods and food security; making effective interventions in national policy; conducting policy and advocacy campaigns amongst researchers, activists and policy makers; providing a forum to help build expertise in the field of women in fisheries; and, finally, disseminating information on the role of women in fisheries.
WiFN-Fiji works in partnership with other non-governmental organizations, government ministries, and national and regional agencies in deciding, designing and implementing its activities. The organization also has an interest in ensuring the sector is supported by an appropriate policy environment that takes the role of women into account.
Apart from the activities of WiFN-Fiji, the website also carries community stories, films and information about trainings and workshops
