Specific actions in the common fisheries policy for developing the role of women

This own-initiative report concerns specific actions in the common fisheries policy to develop the role of women. The amendments highlight women's work in fishing, aquaculture and processing, including shellfish gathering, net-making and packing, and the underestimation of female labour in statistics. They call for gender-disaggregated data, recognition of occupational diseases, support for women's associations and networks, training, and equal pay and social rights, referencing the European Maritime and Fisheries Fund.
