Close to seventy women gathered from various coastal communities in Belize at Hopkins Village for the 7th Women in Fisheries Forum (WIFF), which was held under the theme, "Leave No One Behind in Building an Enabling Environment for Our Small-Scale Artisanal Fisheries." The annual forum is designed to bring recognition to the varied roles women play in Belize’s small-scale fisheries sector and to provide a space for women to voice the challenges they face and opportunities they would like to pursue.
