Pub Quiz: Fishing for a Sustainable Future

Issued : Monday 16 January, 2012

PubQuiz: Monday February 6th 2012- Fishing for a Sustainable Future.

"Give a man a fish and he'll eat for a day, teach a woman to fish and build a sustainable future"

Skillshare International Ireland works to reduce poverty, injustice and inequality and to further economic and social development in partnership with people and communities throughout the world.

We are currently working in partnership with local communities in Mozambique on a three year project to reduce poverty and hunger amongst vulnerable fishing communities. By empowering female entrepreneurs with skills and knowledge, they will be able to directly influence policies that have an impact on their lives, families, and livelihoods.

Mozambique is one of the poorest countries in the world; more than 50% of the population lives below the poverty line. Half a million people depend on fishing activities for their livelihood, and small-scale fishing is vital for food security and rural employment. The number of women working in the sector has increased significantly, but it remains a male-dominated environment. Women often face discrimination and violence, rarely own resources such as boats and nets, and are under-represented in decision-making bodies.
