Цель данного исследования - внести свой вклад в уже существующие исследования Аральского моря с гендерной перспективы, с упором на роли женщин в рыбной отрасли.

Методология исследования основывалась на использовании полуструктурированного глубинного интервью, которое было разработано для документирования роли женщин в цепочке создания стоимости рыбной отрасли, а также проблем и возможностей, с которыми они сталкиваются.

Оригинальность / ценность исследования. Данная статья направлена на заполнение пробела в признании роли женщин в рыбной отрасли Центральной Азии и начала дискуссии о гендерных аспектах в экологически и экономически уязвимом прибрежном сообществе Казахстана .

Результаты исследования подчеркивают распространенные гендерные роли в рыбной отрасли в районе исследования , где мужчины в основном отвечают за ловлю рыбы , а женщины занимаются ее переработкой и добавлением ценности, как дома, так и на перерабатывающих заводах. Однако, несмотря на значительное присутствие женщин в рыбной перерабатывающей отрасли, они не имеют представительства в рыбных ассоциациях. Исследование также выявило окуня как ключевую экспортную рыбу и подчеркнуло потенциал женщин в разведении рыбы. Наконец, исследование определило интерес женщин к профессиональной подготовке, особенно в маркетинге и продажах, и рекомендовало заинтересованным сторонам в рыбной отрасли совместно разрабатывать и организовывать программы обучения для облегчения доступа женщин к этим навыкам.

The purpose of this study is to contribute to the existing research on the Aral Sea from a gender perspective, with a specific focus on women's roles in the fishery sector.

The methodology employed in this study involved the use of a semi-structured in-depth interview instrument, which was developed to document the role of women in the fisheries value chain, as well as the challenges and opportunities they face.

Originality / value of the research. This article aims to fill the gap in the lack of recognition of women's roles in fisheries in Kazakhstan and start a conversation about gender considerations in the ecologically and economically vulnerable coastal community of Kazakhstan.

Findings. The study's findings highlight the prevalent gender roles in the fishery sector in the research area, where men are primarily responsible for catching fish, while women process and add value to it, both at home and in processing plants. However, despite their significant presence in the fish processing industry, women lack representation in fisheries associations. The study also identified pikeperch as a key export-oriented fish and highlighted the potential for women to contribute to farmed fish production. Finally, the study identified women's interest in skills training, particularly in marketing and sales, and recommended that stakeholders in the fishery sector jointly design and organize training programs to facilitate women's access to these skills.
