ATSEA-2 Project recognizes and celebrates the crucial role played by women in the marine and fisheries sectors, especially in the Arafura and Timor Seas (ATS) region. Despite their active involvement in downstream activities, women face challenges in accessing resources, information, and markets and receive less official support. To address these issues, the project is providing training for women-led home-based small businesses and capacity building for gender empowerment and community welfare through seaweed, promoting sustainable development in the ATS region.
