- Abstract
Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are 17 goals successor strategy derived from Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) which is agreed upon United Nations state members since 2000. Gender Equality is one of its ultimate goal. As such goal is a multi-faceted issue, this paper discusses about gender equality development strategy for women who work in maritime market such as fisheries. Indonesia has a specific policy to empower fisherman which is stated in Law No. 7/2016 on Protection and Empowerment of Marine Fishers, Fish Breeders, and Salt Farmers. This policy aims to empower small-businesses in fishery markets. Although the policy is generally targeted to fishermen communities and their families, yet the policy lacks of understanding in gender equality. Fisherwomen tend to get a secondary treatment in terms of payment, roles in business and community, education and gender violence. The locus of the research is on Morodemak village. The problem in this village is the discrimination and violence targeted women in fishery community. Married women and single women are not allowed to take part in fishery business and often being neglected in their own community. Although the regional government and several NGOs have had helped these women to thrive and help their families through community business, but the patriarchy culture is still dominant which hinders their development through religious figures, village ruler, and even within the women themselves.
