Abstract
Recently, the Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center (SEAFDEC) through its Training Department (TD) has been advocating gender equality in its programs and activities by making sure that the knowledge gaps and opportunities for women and the youth could be identified as well as their capacity needs in order to attain gender equity in fisheries in the future. In the

Resolution on the Future of SEAFDEC: Vision, Mission and Strategies Towards 2030, which was adopted by the SEAFDEC Council of Directors during its Special Council Meeting in November 2017, the Strategies which would be used by SEAFDEC as basis for the development of its programs and activities in the future, included a provision viz: to recognize the importance of small-scale fisheries in the Southeast Asian region, SEAFDEC should promote gender equality in the fisheries and aquaculture

sector. Such promulgation had therefore facilitated the adoption by the SEAFDEC Council of Directors during the Fiftieth Meeting of the SEAFDEC Council in March 2018, of the SEAFDEC Strategy “Support for the Integration of Gender Perspectives in Fisheries within SEAFDEC and its Member Countries,” which was developed through the SEAFDEC-Sweden Project “Fisheries and Habitat Management, Climate Change and Social Well-being in Southeast Asia.” Under such initiative, the SEAFDEC Gender Working Team (GWT) was established comprising technical staff from TD. The activities of the SEAFDEC

GWT started with the two-year (2017-2018) regional field study on gender in fisheries in collaboration with partners, which aims to explore the gender patterns in coastal and marine resources management in the Southeast Asian region. Initially implemented in Cambodia, Myanmar, and Thailand, the study intends to collect field data to be used in analyzing the gender issues as well as the structural causes of gender inequities and inequalities in the fisheries sector of Southeast Asia.
