O TRABALHO DA MULHER PESCADORA: UM ESTUDO DE CASO NO ESTADO DO PARÁ

This study aimed to review the literature on studies carried out with women fishers in the state of Pará, namely their socioeconomic conditions and the role they play in artisanal fishing. The data search was performed on two platforms Google Scholar and BDTD, using exclusion and inclusion criteria and using logical operators. The inclusion criteria used were: i) works only with female fishers that were developed in the state of Pará; ii) works that were published in the last twenty years; iii) original works, which may be articles, dissertations and/or theses; iv) works that show the socioeconomic profile of female fishers in Pará; v) works that show the role of women in artisanal fishing. Exclusion criteria were: i) works published before 2001; ii) bibliographic review works and iii) works on fisherwomen, but which were not developed in the state of Pará, available on Google Scholar. The surveys were carried out mainly in the northeast of Pará and there are few works that show the economic and social profile of female fishermen. Despite playing an important role in artisanal fishing, especially in fish processing, the work of women fishers is still not recognized and they are still invisible to society.
