SESSION 1 : GENDERED CHANGE: Capabilities and vulnerabilities with respect to changes (environmental, social, cultural, economic,
livelihood). Gendered change (for women, men, girls, boys) is an important characteristic of the major changes occurring in
aquaculture and fisheries. However, the gendered nature of change is little recognized, little studied and rarely measured. How can it
be researched, measured and how should different agencies (e.g., fisheries departments, development agencies, NGOs) address it?
