Who are we?

Women play an indispensable role in the blue economy, from artisanal fishing to marine research, and from technological innovation to environmental conservation. Yet, they are often underrepresented and lack recognition and support. Blue Women Africa aims to bridge this gap.

Blue Women Africa is an independent, non-governmental, non-profit organization committed to advancing gender parity and sustainable development at the heart of the blue economy in Africa. On one hand, it aims to support the initiatives of institutions and associations working to promote the empowerment of African women in the sector. On the other hand, it intends to accompany the emancipation of all African women in this field, whether affiliated or not.
