Dialogues on gender-based violence, harmful masculinities and ICT use in the fisheries sector of Muleba, Tanzania

In October 2024, WorldFish and the Environmental Management and Economic Development Organization (EMEDO) co-hosted a workshop to document lessons learned from the implementation of HER+ in the fisheries sector in Muleba District. During that workshop, participants identified three main constraints that undermine women’s economic resilience to the impacts of climate change in the fisheries sector: (1) persistent gender-based violence (GBV), (2) lack of access to financial services and (3) the underrepresentation of women in leadership positions and decision-making that directly affect their livelihoods. However, this report focuses primarily on discussions of GBV and dialogues on masculinity, as well as training on digital information and communication technology (ICT).
