المرأة في قطاع الأسماك الفرص و التحديات : دراسة حالة مدينة بورتسودان - السودان

Abstract EN

The study aimed to know the extent of women’s participation in fisheries sector and challenges and obstacles in this area.

To achieve the goals of the study, the descriptive approach was used and the questionnaire was used of 150 women, and personal interviews and discussion sessions were conducted with women’s associations in the region.

From the results, it was clear that the numbers of women in the fisheries sector are low, and from the results of interviews and discussion concluded that the women’s associations in Port Sudan did not participate in activities related to fish and this is due to the difficulty obtaining and high prices of the fish.

from the questionnaire it was clear that there are some traditions that prevent the participation of women in fishing and marketing fish, also there are not enough conditions for safety.

The study suggested activating sub-markets and itinerant sales and allocation of a women’s market, in addition to introduce different fish products.

The study recommended that there is need to raise awareness and conduct workshops and training courses among the community about the importance of this sector and take adequate conditions for women’s safety in this field.
