World Fisheries Day Event in Dakar

Aida Diouf, General Secretary of REFEPAS (Réseau des femmes de la pêche artisanale du Sénégal), speaks to the press.
With almost one thousand women fish processors, community leaders and Civil Society Organisations representatives from all over the country, Greenpeace Africa celebrates World Fisheries Day and holds a press conference in Dakar, to demand of the Senegalese government to stop the fishmeal industries and to stop granting new fishing licences, and instead to support women processors and fishing communities, to protect the ocean and to ensure people’s food security.
