Gender progress within ocean affairs
Gender issues have been over-looked in ocean sectors and activities. Women underrepresented in bodies established by UNCLOS: In ITLOS only 3 (from 21) members are women. No woman has been Secretary General or Deputy Secretary General of ISA. Lack of statistics on ocean-related employment of women.
Need to recognize the value of women’s labour.
