Climate change, illegal fish harvest, and environmental degradation disproportionately affect women and genderqueer people and the time to center their voices in addressing these challenges is now. Through our Gender Equality Dialogues (GED), Seafood and Gender Equality (SAGE) promotes equality in the seafood sector by co-creating a space for industry leaders to align on key issues and build socially responsible and actionable gender equality commitments. Currently in its pilot phase, the GED has gathered preliminary insights into the complexities around establishing an industry-specific business case for a gender-just sustainable seafood sector, with an eye towards defining what an equitable seafood sector looks like. SAGE’s Program Manager, Becca Williams, will lead members of the pilot cohort in a panel discussion on the challenges and successes of promoting gender equality within their own companies and the broader sector to ensure lasting change.
