WOMEN AT THE CENTER STAGE: RECONCEPTUALIZING FEMALE AGENCY AS THE CORE FOR A FEMINIST AGENDA IN FISHERIES RESEARCH – A BRIEF DISCUSSION ON DILEMMAS AND CHALLENGES
Palavras-chave:
female agency, feminist agenda, women in fisherfolk organizationsResumo
Along the last decades, a growing body of research has focused on the multiplicity of roles and contributions of women to the fisheries sector worldwide, resulting in an increased recognition in national and international policy instruments. However, this increased recognition in global research has not always put the focus on the role of women in performing this change. Building upon the results of a published literature review on women in fisherfolk organizations and collective action in fisheries, we call the attention to the greater focus that researchers have placed in pointing to the structural factors as enablers of women’s collective action and propose an expanded role for academics working on the topic. Specifically, this paper suggests that feminist fisheries research should put more focus on women themselves as agents of change to balance academics’ current focus on the structural conditions that enable change. This brief is therefore a call to action to re-conceptualize female agency in fisheries research.
