This technical brief describes how forced labor and trafficking in persons on fishing vessels affects women, including both women fishers and women who share a household with male fishers. These effects include a lack of mobility and employment opportunities, and financial harm including poverty and debt bondage. A key finding of this report is that harmful labor practices do not harm only the individual fisher, but the entire family unit.

This study assesses women's awareness and knowledge of forced labor and trafficking in persons, explores women's experiences in dealing with harmful labor practices, assesses gender norms and gender relationships in the fishing community, and identifies potential future roles for women and how women's agency can contribute to protect against harmful labor practices. The study also recommends raising awareness of these issues, enabling access to affordable loans and social protection programs, and promoting livelihood and skills development in women fisher communities.
