Promoting women participation in sustainable development through fish production and marketing in the Niger Delta, Nigeria
Women constitute the major stakeholders in the struggle for sustainable rural development in subSaharan Africa. The major fishing activities of women are in the area of processing, marketing and gear making. Women's fundamental contribution is continually under-appreciated and under-supported and is often adversely affected by prevailing economic policies and other developmental conditions.These circumstances must be reversed since sustainable development through fish production and marketing can not be achieved without the full participation of women. This paper is focused on how women can be empowered for sustainabledevelopment in fish development and marketing.
