Women, Ocean Science, Blue Justice,Abstract
The activities of women are usually underestimated in areas traditionally dominated by men. Thus, the ocean is not different. Ocean has been seen as a male environment, especially in navigation, fisheries and hard sciences. Because the acceleration of the blue economy brings socio ecological risks to humanity, notably to people in the so-called Global South, and particularly to women, we advocate for transformative change. How the UN Decade for Ocean Science may contribute to transform barriers to gender equity in opportunities to promote blue justice? Our main goal is to show that the Ocean Decade may play a role in fostering a more sustainable blue economy, in accordance with the UN 2030 Agenda, because it focuses on “the science we need for the ocean we want”, therefore encouraging participative and interdisciplinary research. Moreover, scientific research offers space for women to harness their preferences and priorities. In this perspective article, we employ an interdisciplinary approach to draw insights over the transformation pathway to blue justice.
