Literature has brought up the issue of the (in)visibility of women in fishing activities, mainly discussing the origin of gender prejudices embedded in the activity, as well as advances and obstacles in the recognition of female work. The present study is part of this debate, aiming to clarify gender differences based on the labor profile in Brazilian fishing, as well as to examine the main situations that subject these women to working conditions that are more severe than those of men. Thus, the approach of the study is based on the literature review regarding the insertion of women in fishing, as well as the use of the analytical, descriptive and statistical microdata method of the 2019 annual Continuous National Household Sample Survey (PNADC). It is noted that the work of fisherwomen lacks visibility, since it is recurrently mixed with household chores, as well as being inserted in more vulnerable working conditions, thus requiring public policies that these women will consider, considering the multiplicity of fishing activities that they carry out and, at the same time, are not recognized.
