Gendered access to assets and resources in small-scale fisheries and aquaculture in East Africa: Insights from feminist political ecology framework

Abstract

Gendered aquaculture and fisheries research is becoming increasingly common as researchers and policy makers continue to acknowledge gender disparities present throughout the VCs and their implications on livelihoods. This paper uses the feminist political ecology (FPE) framework to assess the current gender dynamics in access to and control over assets and resources in the VCs in E. Africa.
